We drove to Chicago on August 31 and stayed at the Hines' condo (luxury!). September 1, we made our way to St. Paul, MN, to move Julia into her new apartment. We had so much fun shopping and setting up her place. It has 1940s charm with her unique style in furniture, bedding, and plants. Love it! We made time to explore the University of Minnesota Minneapolis campus, Minnehaha Falls, and nearby parks. The highlight was dinner with her advisor (Peter Neff), his wife Heidi, and their daughter Abby. They are so kind, genuine, and really reassured us that Julia is in good hands and definitely not alone. We also enjoyed one last skate together on the morning of our departure. It was very hard to say good-bye...but we are so proud of her and know she will smash this opportunity! Cheers to her next adventure in getting a Ph.D. in land and atmospheric science, glaciology.
