Steve and I attended our first Parent and Family Weekend at UC Davis in November. For the layout documenting our visit, I paired a photo of the three of us with a photo of the iconic water tower near Tercero. I used the graphics from the event website to make my title and subtitle. I love the balance and the colors and the simplicity of this page.
So what did we do at Parent Weekend? We opted out of most of the formal activities - since Steve and I are alumni, we didn't need a campus tour, for example. We've been to all the campus museums recently and are regulars at the Arboretum. Instead, we had brunch in my former Dining Commons, then I talked my way into my old dorm, which was quite a blast from the past.
My room was the one on the top floor, three from the right, with the windows open.
For the most part, the building looks almost identical to how it looked 33 years ago, which is to say the building could use a refurbishment. One major difference: they swapped the men's and women's bathrooms. My room was directly in front of the women's bathroom, which made a convenient way to cut through to the other side of the building. It felt really strange seeing the men's room there instead.
After visiting my dorm, Trevor walked us to each of his classes. Then we strolled around, enjoying the beautiful weather and seeing what had changed on campus since the last time we'd been there. There's always something new. All in all, we had a wonderful time at our first UCD Parent Weekend!
