I'm Back

I hope you are still enjoying your vacation. I came back last night from a trip to Rhode Island and Connecticut. We took my 17-year old daughter and a friend of hers on a college visit trip. They will be applying to colleges next fall, and most families visit colleges that the children might want to go to. These visits help the kids see whether the school is as good in person as it seemed when they read about it. We visited 3 different schools, so we went on 3 tours and sat in on 3 information sessions. It was tiring but fun. Deciding on a college is a very exciting (but scary) time for American teenagers, so my husband and I might have enjoyed it all more than the girls did! It will be interesting to see where my daughter ends of applying.
