The Great College Road Trip - Round Up
Friday afternoon, about 1:00 p.m., I finally call the boys since I have not heard from them since Thursday afternoon. Brian answers, "oh, hey. sorry. probably should have called you." Right, story of my life. So, I take a really big deep breath and decide to let it go, especially since he had sweet baby Patch with him and I was curious how the trip was going.
Apparently, the hottest girl ever was in the Blacksburg Elevator. VA Tech does remind him of Hogwarts, just like Ryan said. Loved the location and the campus. However, he's concerned it may be a little too engineering oriented for him. Still on the list, just not as high as USC and Wake.
We are greatful that now, Patrick is thinking about what he likes and what he doesn't like, how to translate that into a future with a potential career. As much as he would love to get paid to sit around and drum all day long, the liklihood of that career is slim to none!
At the end, the boys arrive home exhausted with a renewed bond between them. They have tons of stories, great memories and some merchandise. Brian still wants to be in college and Patrick is excited about the opportunites that await him.
What will I do when they're all gone ...

Great College Road Trip - UPDATE
Sssh ... don't tell anyone I posted this picture of Patrick from Wake. Oh, how I love this school. And, woo hoo, he liked it to. Even got some merchandise; and some for the momma, too! I am trying as hard as I can not to get too excited. I know. I know. He's the one that has to go to school and find his way in the world. He has to go to a school that fits him. But I'm the momma and momma's just know best! Stay tuned ... they're in Blacksburg and will tour the hallowed halls of Virginia Tech tomorrow. I am really curious to see his reaction to this one. He was there when he was little, but now he has an entirely different perspective. Ryan loved it. What will Patrick think? Stay tuned ...
p.s. don't forget, don't tell anyone about the picture.

Easter 2010
After a beautiful mass at Archbishop Spalding, we spent Easter Sunday with Nana and Papa. It was great to see brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. Here are some shots of Ezio and Luna - too cute for words. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
The Great College Road Trip - UPDATE
Just left Clemson. Liked the campus. Liked the tour. Not enough information on academics, however the Brooks School of Performing Arts is really cool! No merchandise ... didn't want to make a premature purchase. Boys are way different than girls. I think we have two items from every school each of the girls visited along with baseball hats for Dad and soccer t-shirts for Patch! Probably should think about a yard sale. Stay tuned ...
The Great College Road Trip
Monday morning, o'dark thirty, Patrick and Brian head south for the great college road trip. No girls allowed. Why, because clothes are optional on the great college road trip. Goals: get a feel for schools you may be interested in; find the best southern barbeque. In fact, since I was not invited on this trip, I could easily have the order of the goals mixed.
Monday afternoon, arrive in Charleston. Surprise Ryan. She screams. Leaves the dining hall and heads to lunch with her father and her brother. Ryan provides Patch some advise while looking at colleges and the boys are off. Headed to Columbia and the University of South Carolina. Neither of the girls were allowed to even look at this school (think mascot), but should the same be true for Patch? Double standards are everywhere, we may as well embrace them. Patch likes the school and leaves with new attire -what's not to like! I received a picture of said attire, but was given strict instructions not to post the picture on the blog. Boys are so different than girls!

Find some barbeque for lunch and head west to Clemson. I get a text in the afternoon that they have arrived and are "milling" around the campus. So far so good. Tour tomorrow at o'dark thirty. These are the schools selected for the great college road trip. Stay tuned for more adventures from the boys!
