Coast Guard Academy Parent's Weekend

This past weekend Grammie, Grampie, Margaret, Evan, Helen, Dan, and Erin went back to the Coast Guard Academy for its annual Parent's Weekend. It was a beautiful New England fall weekend. The Academy is in a beautiful location on the Thames River in New London, CT. On Friday we went to class with Jeannie and toured Chase Hall (the dorms where she and all the cadets live.) Friday night we had some activity in our hotel as there was a fire alarm that went off at 2:00 am because there was an attempted suicide. The whole hotel had to wait outside for about and hour in the cold and we crammed 7 of us in a small compact car to stay warm. On Saturday we watched Jeannie play volleyball and also caught part of the football game. We all left Sunday evening and had a great time visiting Jeannie at the Coast Guard Academy!

It looks like everyone had a great time out there. That is crazy about the fire alarm getting pulled in the middle of the night. I can just imagine everyone all crammed in the car. One for the book!
