We’re taking our time getting home tonight. I feel like we take a lot of short trips but not too many vacations together, so when a weekender feels like a vacation I don’t want it to end! Thanks to Kate,Nate, Liam, and Gilbert for hosting us!
We decided to take the mountain route home so we could stop into Davidson for a bit. First stop was the Union for lunch. It’s so hard to pay cash here when all we did was swipe a meal plan Cat card for four years!
Hummus, pepperjack and veg on Rye with split sweet potato fries!
A long (hot) walk around campus was next.
Baby’s first visit!
We found two huge new dorms going up by West
but no professors to say hi to in their offices
Four years of dorms! Matt and I lived in the same dorm till our senior year!
We visited ye ole watering hole
And ended up at the store where we found one of Bocker’s brothers
And two cute Davidson items for the baby!
Back in the auto, we enjoyed a baby shower favor for dessert 🙂
4.5 hours to go!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says

KathEats says

kathleen @ the daily crumb says

Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
So cute! My boyfriend and I met in college too – over 5 years ago!
Annette @FitnessPerks says
That is so cute that you guys bought little clothes for the babe 🙂
Have a safe trip!
Christine @ BookishlyB says
I went to UCLA and EVERY time I go back it’s different. I like seeing the changes, but it makes me kind of sad that I feel like I don’t know the campus as well. I cannot wait to buy my unconceived child Bruin wear 🙂
Catalina @ Cake with Love says
Safe travels, those baby items look so cute, love the yellow color!!!
Laura @ She Eats Well says
The campus looks so charming and beautiful! Also…oh my sweet potato fries!!!
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
So cute!! I love it when babies sport their parent’s Alma Mater or their favorite sports team.
Allison K says
Awww. I LOVE visiting my Alma Mater! My baby’s first visit was when I was only 9 weeks pregnant! My girlfriends and I all met up for Homecoming. We planned the trip before I got pregnant, and needless to say, it was a little bit different than if I hadn’t been in my first tri! I can’t wait to take the baby back there, and dress him in cute Vandal Gear! (University of Idaho Vandals!)
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
I love going back to my old college to visit. That is where my fiance and I met as well. 🙂 It brings back sweet memories.
Kaila @healthyhelperblog! says
Mmm sweet potato fries! I could go for some homemade ones right now! They look delicious!
Sana says
Baby clothes are too cute 🙂

It’s great fun to revisit your Alma Mater. I did that on Saturday. Great to be back in the old familiar surroundings.
Björg says
I bet it brings up many memories! :]
Safe travels
Angel7 says
Baby got to visit daddy and mommy’s old stomping grounds 🙂
Are those sour patch kids that I see on the table by your plate? I love to eat them, but try not to buy them while I am pregnant–they are not considered “real food!” (LOL)

KathEats says
Yes and not real food!
Christine @ Oatmeal Bowl says
How fun! I love taking car drives/road trips. And your lunch sounds so good right now (its my lunch time, but waiting post gym). I will just down a protein shake for now. 😉
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
They tore down our college and rebuilt it somewhere else. Kind of sad to never get to go back. Sounds like you two are having an enjoyable trip back home. Safe travels Kath!
Angela @ Happy Fit Mama says
All new babies are required to support their parents alma mater! Plus, it’s too cute!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
Awww I love that you got Davidson things for your baby! that will be too cute! Gotta make him a fan early on!
j3nn says
Cuuuuute baby clothes!!
Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
how cute are those baby clothes!!!
Charlotte says
Very cute gear for the baby! 🙂 I was wondering if, given that you are such an excellent organizer and eater, if you could do a blog post about how you plan and go grocery shopping. I feel like I could be way more efficient in this area, but need some advice. Help Kath!
Thanks,
Charlotte
Charlotte says
Kath – I just found your blog post on this! Is it new? Or did I just miss it before? Either way thank you! Very helpful post! – Charlotte
KathEats says
New! Just went a few weeks ago
Johanna B says
Everytime you show photos of Davidson I wonder how different it looked in the early 60’s when my all time best friend went there. He was a Sigma Nu and I think he graduated in 1962.
Mom says
Love the Davidson duds!
Hillary says
Visiting my university always trips me out—it looks more and more different every time I go back, and I’ve only been gone five years! Looks like a great day.
branny says
Great pics! I haven’t been back to campus since about a year after I graduated – even though I lived in Cornelius for 4 years post graduation! I had no idea they were building more dorms. Growing, growing.
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
Gosh…I have not been back to my university in years! I met my husband there…perhaps we are due for a visit!
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
What a trip down memory lane…the next time you go, you’ll probably have your baby in arms. That will really be surreal I bet!
Maura @ My Healthy 'Ohana says
Love the college gear for babies 🙂 Hope you have a safe trip back!
Jenny says
Your weekend seems so great!! We actually live across the street from fabo, and I’m sad I didn’t pass you on the street! Anyways, loved Kerf-Charlotte-style, and I can’t wait to try those cupcakes!
KathEats says
🙂 Love that area!
Cait's Plate says
Aw so fun! If baby Younger-Momson goes to Davidson you’ll have to show him this post of his very first visit 🙂
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
haha! I love the little baby Davidson clothes. 🙂
Alexis says
My friend went there for her first year (then transferred to UVA actually), and I just realized you are the same year as her too. Wonder if you knew each other! She went for a soccer scholarship but didn’t like the smallness of the school.
KathEats says
Maybe!
Willemijn Davidson says
Love all those items with my last name on it! 😉
Katie Cummings says
The college I went to had more local than national sororities/fraternities (I was part of a local) but we did have SAE, and really respect the men of that brotherhood!
Carla says
Kath, I’m going to be at Davidson this weekend for a conference…Where’s good to eat a quick lunch and a nice dinner? (Except Kindred, because they’re all full of reservations already!).
KathEats says
Oh man I haven’t lived there since 2005 so the restaurants have changed so much!! I really don’t know?! Enjoy the college and town though! I need to go back.
