It is really hard to believe that our son is starting to visit colleges. As a high school senior, the time is now. This weekend, he is visiting two colleges in Vermont, and stopping by a third to get a good view of the campus of a much larger university (my wife’s grad school). Jake and his two closest friends have come a long way since they started in kindergarten together. There is so much for him to do, and so much for us to do. We need to look at finances, logistics, and to help guide him into making the best decision he can.

I took about an hour to drive around this morning since I will be moving south tomorrow. I headed up I-91 to just over the Vermont state line. We’ll be heading back there when my Mom is in town in another week or two, but wanted to get the lay of the land. It was so green and full of mountains. It was easy to see why they call it the green mountain state.

At the rest area, there were many different activities shown from the state in a small museum. I have always thought that having a showcase for a state on a major highway, just as you enter the state is a great idea.
