Y'all are cracking me up but it reminded me of a college experience. I lived in the international dorm so there were these two guys from Germany on our floor. The first week of school, they were asking if anybody wanted to roadtrip to California for the weekend. We all just stared.. had to explain that was a 3-4 day drive. They couldn't believe it because they could drive through MANY countries in 3-4 days in Europe! They were so sad.

ETA: I'll be in Rhode Island the first weekend in November! College visit time for the boy!

Love RI! It's such a great place to go to school.. or to do just about anything. Tons of beaches!

Oreo cows! They have those near my grandma's house in southern Maine! We would always say hello to them as we drove by.

Hope he enjoys it! College Hill is a beautiful place at that time of year, but be prepared to hunt for parking. If you get the chance to pop through the Rhode Island School of Design art museum I'd highly recommend it, and the Providence Place Mall is also fun. My best friend goes to Brown and loves every minute of it

I loved Providence when I went there my D to visit Brown. We're flying into Providence, driving to Ithaca to see Cornell, then back to Providence to visit Brown and flying home. It sounds convoluted but it was the most economical way to see both in one trip.
