Vanderbilt Wins
Nov. 6, 2011—I am finally back in Vandyland after an amazing weekend in Gainesville.

Outdoor Recreation: Climbing at King’s Bluff
Oct. 5, 2011—One of my favorite things to do on a weekend is to get away for a day and go outside! I don’t just mean reading a book while basking in the sun. I mean good ol’ hiking, kayaking, canoeing, and above all (pun intended!) climbing!
