Homecoming Weekend

09/28/13 | birthday, Georgetown, Washington D.C.

As I mentioned yesterday, I am in Washington, D.C. for the weekend to celebrate my university’s homecoming and my birthday with my college friends.  This is my second homecoming as an alumnus and I am very excited to be returning to the beautiful Hilltop!

The weekend promises some quality time with my younger brother, reconnecting with friends I have not seen in a year,  an epic tailgate, a football game I probably will not attend, and a big party at a restaurant on the waterfront, the same waterfront as these pictures, for just my graduating class.  The quote from the website really says it best, “Wear your blue and gray with pride, practice chanting “Hoya Saxa!” as loud as you can and get ready to create new memories by celebrating the old this year at Homecoming!”

Take a look at how beautiful my alma matter is: 

I plan on doing a recap of my entire birthday weekend, beginning with dinner on Thursday night, next week.  Expect to see some pretty amazing pictures upon my return but until then, I hope you all have a great weekend because I know I will!
