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!
