Thankfully it was a temporary problem. It was fun to see Chris and Sheri last week. I was confused, then concerned, then annoyed when the web host lost 5 months of posts.

I was confused and then concerned when I started reading about Clare and the SATs in March. Kudos to you for still be willing to camp--I would definitely vote for the B&B with or without kids!

]]> Comment on Wine Juice Boxes - not such a good idea by Tina http://dponline.org/weblog/2008/08/13/wine-juice-boxes-not-such-a-good-idea/#comment-1855 Tina Thu, 14 Aug 2008 02:15:46 +0000 http://dponline.org/weblog/?p=689#comment-1855 Agreed, that's a bad idea...It kind of reminds me of when they started selling blue Gatorade. I was afraid my kids would end up drinking Windex because it was the same color. Different, but sort of the same.

All other campuses we visited that had regular receptionists (and not students) manning the desks gave us a tour. As I mentioned, we felt dismissed. It seems as if we visited on a bad day. Thanks for the comment. I'll pass your note to Clare. Dona Hi Mollie -

Perhaps we just have a greater volume of visitors? BTW, I was wondering what your definition of harassed was? Please have Clare look me up when she makes it back to campus. Hi Dona,

We should have traveled farther up the road, away from the smell, but we didn't know what was there until we checked in.

Too bad you passed us up and opted to stay at another hotel. You certainly would have had a much better experience. Once I tried to be frugal before I was with Hampton Inn and stayed at this one hotel that smelled like being downwind of a row of porta-potties, mixed with cigar smoke...it was disgusting! LOL!! I can laugh about it now. But right now were having a 10% off promotion. Check it out! http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/promotions/hx_summerpromo08/index.jhtml;jsessionid=SXEZ4FIZDCG4OCSGBJF2VCQ?it=specials,dreams&cid=om,hx,dreams,specials Also check out this funny video, called "Ballad of a Traveler", it is hilarious.

Before the trip I wondered if she was going to find anything she'd like, now I know she will. I liked Chatham -- and so did she. Dean's wary about all-girls colleges. We'll see. She wants to visit Rhodes College in Memphis and some in New England. I'd like her to look at Connecticut College and Hampshire. Maybe Ithaca College. Maybe the University of Vermont -- but it is not small... This trip not only allowed us to bond more, but she learned a few lessons and I think she learned to read a map!! Looking forward to seeing Chris and Sheri in a few days. Thanks Diane — I agree. Before the trip I wondered if she was going to find anything she’d like, now I know she will.

It has also piqued my interest in looking more closely at some regional liberal arts colleges. I think several of the ones you visited could be a good fit for Clare. Thanks for the tour!
