Road Trip
Well I am back. I bet you didn't even miss me. Sunday morning my oldest son and I went on a road trip.
We went to visit a college that his is interested in. Here is a hint as to which one it was.
The weather was great for traveling. It was cool and clear and traffic was light. There was however a lot of traffic going the other way on Sunday. Saturday night was a big game for the Tigers and they beat Duke in Football. My son isn't interested in going there for the football but he does like the team. We stayed in a nice hotel in Anderson which was on Clemson Blvd. The same road goes by the college so it made it easy to get there this morning. Not much else happened. We did have a nice dinner last night at Applebees and then got a good night sleep.
This morning, we had a great free continental breakfast at the hotel and then we had an interview at the college. My son is still a junior in high school and they were impressed at how motivated he is. The counselor said that she doesn't get a lot of juniors who actually come to visit and speak with them. After we spoke with her, we visited with the head of the agricultural department and he also was impressed. This afternoon we simply drove home. This is the view from our hotel room. The leaves were still changing there but with 20's expected tonight they should all be gone by the end of the week.
Sorry there isn't more to report on but that about did it for the weekend. I hope everyone else had a good one. I am tired so I will visit all your blogs in the morning.
Have a great week,
Greg

He sounds like he's got a good head on his shoulders and is being smart about his future.
You are obviously a good dad, and I'm sure your son appreciates the time you spend with him.
Those leaves are so pretty!
I hate for the fall colors to go away.
Good job, Dad...!!
The picture is lovely.
lol...Okay...had to add my two cents of rivarly in. (yeah, yeah...don't even mention how bad we lost to the gators on Saturday...i know)
The leaves here are all gone. The grass is brown. And snowflakes dot the ground in spots. It is so much prettier there!!! Wanna trade?
We, with our junior in highschool, visited Belmont this past Saturday!
Wow, our kids rock!
Thanks for sharing those pictures :)
What a great dad/son time! I remember when we first started making college visits....it all passes too quickly. :( But one week from today I'll get to see my Peanut for 6 whole days! :) Thank God for Thanksgiving break! LOL!
Blessings!

Glad to have you back,

I found you over on Edie's blog. I thought I'd stop by and take a peek at your blog here.
I like fishing too but from the looks of your picture up there, you have a bigger fish tale than I have lol!
I'm also impressed that your son is already searching for the right college. What a huge decision but also what a wonderful time to spend with you on the road.
Well, Nice meeting ya :)

Not a Tiger Fan per se but you should never choose your college just because you root for the football team ;)
I'm a Winthrop Eagle!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. Nice to meet you!
What a nice time to spend with your son. I am sure that the trip is something that he will look back on years later.
Love the pic! It's beautiful!
Love those fall colors outside your hotel.
Anyhow, it sounds like you had a nice trip with your son - that's great!!! My oldest is also a junior and checking out colleges. He flew to Florida to see Clearwater Christian College (two of his cousins are there) and he's also interested in two in S.C. - North Greenville (I think) and Anderson.
Take care!
