Friday night I took Kelsey to the Bainbridge High Homecoming. Bainbridge was playing Eastside Christian. It was not a good game. We stayed for the half time festivities and then headed to Seattle.
We left my place around 9 am and drove East to Ellensburg. We used the directions to get close, but Jessica had to come find us. We parked and went to see her dorm.
She is on the top floor of Quigley dorm. There is a skylight in the hall right in front of her door! I thought it was fabulous! The room is small, but enough room for two busy students. Her room mate is Riley, a freshman from Burien. They are learning to get along!
After the tour, we went to lunch at the Ellensburg Pasta Co. It was pretty good. Everybody ate a good lunch. After lunch we went and checked in to the hotel. Then off to the homecoming game.
There was a good crowd on hand to see the CWU Wildcats take on the Dixie State Bobcats. Dixie state is a small school in South Utah.
The game was pretty sloppy, but the Wildcats managed a last second win that we did not see!
We toured around the rest of the campus after the game. We saw where she gets her meals and bought hoodies at the store.
We took Jess to the Fred Meyer for room supplies. Snacks and Halloween decorations!
We then went for a drive. Jess has not been down Canyon road yet. When we were younger, we used to float the river and camp along the Yakima River outside of Ellensburg. We drove down the canyon. The fall colors were great. There are all these red (crimson) bushes aling the hills. I wonder if this is how CWU and WSU picked the color Crimson for thier school colors?
We went to dinner at a new place that opened up across from the Safeway. We had a lite meal before sending Jess off for her Homecoming activities. She was working the dance.
The next am we ate a hearty breakfast and hit the road. It was a long weekend and Kelsey and I were anxions to get home and get ready for the week
I look forward to our next CWU visit.
