@SFBayRecruiter - “Drive by, throw the car in reverse with the tailgate open…Burnout all the way off campus.” I had to laugh at this because that’s actually what happened to my husband! His parents drove him 6 hours for move in day his freshman year at a campus he’d never even visited (this was the simpler days of the 80s). They started having car trouble on the way down, so when they got to campus, my father in law was afraid to turn off the car’s ignition for fear it wouldn’t restart. So, they dumped all of his stuff on the sidewalk in front of the dorm, gave him a quick hug, and left! My mother in law still gets teary talking about how upset she was not to get to go inside and see his room, etc. My husband, meanwhile, was perfectly fine with it. :))

I’m hoping it will be me, husband, and D2 dropping of my D this fall. We need Dad to carry heavy things, D2 to help her sister organize clothes, etc., and me just because I couldn’t bear to miss it.
