On Tour With Viv

-

We spent President's Day weekend in Pittsburgh touring The University of Pittsburgh and Duquesne University. The weather was perfect. And by "perfect" I mean perfectly Pittsburgh. Friday was cold and windy with blue skies and Saturday and Sunday were snowy, sleety, icy and freezing. The Duquesne admission counselor even made the comment that if you could visit on  a day like Saturday, you could make it through four years easily! 

Weather aside, we were all impressed with both schools, but for Viv there is a definite front runner...

And in leaving early to beat the ice storm
we drove through West Virginia University

Here we go...the first college visit for our last little Hanson! Whew, how did we get here?? Viv loved everything about Elon, but kind of the way she loves everything about life. It really was an impressive school though. The size is perfect, it has a great nursing program and a beautiful campus.  Who knows where she'll end up, but Elon sure did set the bar high.  From North Carolina we went to South Carolina to visit the Hansons Matt and Maureen on her birthday And maybe the best part of long weekend was a Buccee's stop! Totally worth the price of admission!
