Bf and I took a trip to Charlottesville recently, home of
our alma mater (go Hoos!) It was a reach school for me, a safety school for him, but once we stepped foot onto the
Grounds, it was inevitable that we would meet. School was where we became friends, started dating, and spent the best four years of our lives. Sappy much? :) Whenever we return to visit, we make a point to stop by our old stomping grounds, to simply marvel at the changes over the years, but also to reminisce about the good times. Just to name a few, must-see places include our old dorms, the Corner, and the picturesque
lawn that Thomas Jefferson designed.
While we hardly took the time to seek out new local food spots back then, we make a point to do so now. What was wrong with us in college, you wonder? We both enjoyed dining hall food. And still miss it sometimes, hahaha. It's too bad they're closed over the summer, or we would've definitely made a stop :) So instead, on our must-eat itinerary was
Bodo's (best everything bagels
ever),
La Michoacana Deli (I'm still sad we missed tacos by 20 minutes!),
Marco & Luca (mmm dumplings and sweet & spicy noodles), and
The Flat (light and doughy, salty and sweet crepes).
Good day, good times. I miss Cville already.
What do you miss the most about your alma mater?
