College Search Extravaganza

In the last two days my daughter and I have visted 8 colleges. Tomorrow we hope to see 2 or 3 more. The colors are peaking or maybe just a little over and it has been a beautiful trip. We have driven through rolling hills and flat cornfields. We have driven through pouring rain and towards a rainbow. Today there were small patches of blue throughout the day. We have had our share of arguments about directions and snacks and who stinks the most - but we always manage to end up laughing our heads off.

Many of the schools on this trip have been complete "unknowns" to us. My daughter has been happily surprised at how much she has liked most of the schools we have visited even though they have been unique. Big, small, urban, rural, specific, general. I think the girl is delighted at the prospect of college. It is really there for her to take and explore. What a cool place to be at 17.

Would you rather go to college or the moon?
