Layla goes to College

I didn't think I would be writing that title for another 18 years! Mike and I took Layla to Harrisonburg this weekend for JMU's homecoming with some of our good friends.  As we drove out of a rainy, dreary Ashburn  I told Mike "don't worry, it's always sunny at Madison." And I was right (like always-ha!) As we drove down 81 the clouds parted and the sun shined down on the Burg.   Layla must have felt that JMU is that happiest place on earth because she was such a happy, laughing baby the entire day.  I think she knew this is where her parents met!  We had a long day of tailgating, the football game, dinner with friends and sleeping in a hotel and she didn't make a single fuss all day.  We think it was the happiest day of her life.  Even as she was laying in her pack n play in the hotel at night she was laughing to herself as she was falling asleep.  We had such a great time and decided that taking an annual family trip to Madison for a football game will go on our list of Melcher Family Traditions.

We couldn't bring Cashy, so we found a fill in Bully for a family pic

On a side note, JMU totally renovated their football stadium.  It is awesome, probably the nicest stadium (pro or college) that I have been to.
