A Weekend at UMass

This past weekend, Dave and I went to UMass to visit Gabbie. We have been to campus before, both when bringing her to school and driving her back after Thanksgiving, but never actually during the school year or for a weekend. Simon had his fall youth group weekend, so it gave Dave and I a chance to travel as well. We flew to Boston, which is two hours from Amherst, and drove from there on Thursday. Our first stop was for lunch in Brookline and I was already taking photos of the trees!
