Destination: WGW Weekend Day 3 at PSU

Day three (Saturday) started it at 9 a.m. with an hour long walk to the football stadium.  Then we headed for the cute little coffee shop for some more tea, muffins and scones. Yum. After getting cleaned up, we piled into the cars and headed for Mill Hall.  We went to visit Wanda's parents, brother and niece.  We spent many happy hours on the Yearick family farm in our college days and it was great to see everyone again.

After a delicious homemade dessert, it was off to the Original Italian Pizza so the out-of-towners could have a fix of OIP pizza and subs. Then we headed for LHU and took a long walk around campus and reminisced.  We had to stop for a moment of silence at the spot where the TKE fraternity house recently burned down. After a stop at our old dorm and a walk to look at the beautiful new student housing  suites we were ready to  head back to State College.

Sadness at the spot where TKE used to stand.
Saturday night would be a late dinner at Allen Street Grill.  This is a really nice restaurant that is on the second floor above the Corner Room. Since we were all still really full from our late lunch at OIP, most of us opted for salads.  Mine was an oriental Ahi Tuna salad and it was delicious. It was pretty late when we finished dinner, so we headed back to the hotel to hang out together and talk. The next day would be a big travel day for the out-of-town folks and we needed some rest.

The next morning we got showered and dressed and went for breakfast at The Corner Room.  They have a nice Sunday morning buffet.  My hubby was brave a second time and joined all of us.  We recounted all our escapades for his entertainment.

Now it was time to say goodbye and make our plans to get together next year.  The destination may be Pittsburgh..or Savannah.  It all depends on future circumstances.  One thing is certain.  We will be getting together because the roomie weekend makes the summer complete!
