Our Family Weekend at Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech 

Blacksburg, VA 

October 11-13, 2024 

Virginia Tech's Family Weekend was in September but we were unable to make it down to see Ben then. Virginia Tech had a Fall Break so we headed down to Blacksburg. I have been down on a couple day trips but for Weena, she has not seen Ben since we dropped him off in August. 

Friday we toured the campus, had a nice lunch and went to a soccer game.

 

                          Thompson Field. Virginia Tech vs N.C. State. Great venue for a game!

Let's go Hokies!

Shot these from the stands with my Nikon D850. 

Maybe one day I can get a photo credential from Virginia Tech Athletics.

Soccer game ended up 0-0 but it was very entertaining with both teams having several chances to score.

Saturday morning we went to the Blacksburg Farmer's Market. 

We had lunch on Main Street afterwards.

We stayed at the Inn at Virginia Tech and had a nice dinner there Saturday evening. Sunday morning we had a good breakfast before heading back home. It was a short but great visit. 

It was a year ago that we were finalizing Ben's college applications. In April, he chose Virginia Tech. He is enjoying college life there and is happy. Knowing he has found a home comforts us.
