After 9 1/2 hours driving time we successfully put our '84 VW Westfalia's wheels down – and top up – in beautiful Centre Country, Pa., about 15 minutes from Penn State. The VW drove like a champion. It's a little chilly and gray this morning but it's good to be back in Happy Valley ;-)Not sure what happened to yesterday's post that explained all this but we are here for Accepted Students Day . . . and not coincidentally Blue-White Weekend. We're heading into town shortly for breakfast at the famed Waffle House (we're saving The Diner for tomorrow), then meeting with Financial Aid to figure out how to pay for a second one in college when we could barely afford the first. Talk about math problems!
From there That Certain Hanover High Grad will meet up with an academic advisor to start thinking about classes in the fall.

It would be very interesting to sit around a table with Andrew and Garrett as they debate and find common ground about this issue.•
Now off to the Waffle House.
