Last Tuesday was finally move in day! Our time was 8am, which we were happy about because we heard the day before, the later times got really behind. Plus it wasn't as hot. First Aden had to get his ID card.
OMG, look at that face.
So pretty.
Aden met his roomate. We met his roommates family. They are from Chicago and seem nice.
We drove over to the dorm. They had a team of people there to empty the car into bins. They had the car unloaded in seconds!
What a system!
We were right next to the dorm.
They brought his stuff right up to the 8th floor.
This was going to be fun.
I checked out the floor.
There are 12 individual bathrooms on the floor. The floor is coed.
3 laundry rooms and they were free!
A view of the dorms next door
The view of campus from Aden's dorm. Pretty spectacular.
You can see Miami in the distance.
There's a bridge connecting to the dorm next door.
We spent a few hours setting up the room.
Right outside the window, the marching band was practicing. They made a U!
Aden and his roomate Ian.
I was with a bunch of dads in the hall building shelves. We got a bunch done. We met kids and parents. The girls wanted their parents to stay and help. All the boys couldn't wait for their parents to leave.
Looking good!
Amy handled all this very well! She was very organized and not overly emotional.
We walked to the cafeteria.
Lunch was just ok.
Then we walked around campus a little.
I love banyan trees.
Aden's dorm!
We ran into Sebastian the Ibis!
Go Canes!
92 doesn't sound bad but it was so humid! We left Aden and went back to Coconut Grove to do a little shopping.
Amy got some cute outfits at LoveShackFancy.
Coral Gable Library.
That night, Amy and I went to an Argentinian steak house. Yum.
We then walked around. This was a cool bar with a bookstore attached.
We had a nice night! Aden was busy partying!
