Photo gallery: How we spent our summer vacations

Posted on 21 August 2009.

As you may have noticed from the quiet streets, we Davidsonians like to get out of tow special-buttons_life n in the summertime. Where do we go? Africa and Washington, D.C., and the North Carolina Coast. Madame Tussaud’s, Victor Hugo’s house in Paris, and German beer gardens. As you’ll see in our gallery below, one group of Davidson sixth graders got to meet Davidson basketball star-turned NBA rookie Stephen Curry at a golf tournament in Greensboro last week. Thanks to all who took us up on the offer to publish a few summer photos. Have a look.

David Boraks and Lyndsay Kibiloski
