We just got home last night from a week long road trip. We had an entourage of 8 including: Granny Sherry, Maw-Maw, Paw-Paw and Jason met up with us for the end of it.
I decided it would be a fantastic idea to do a college tour on our way out to Atlanta for Kyle's diving meet. And, as usual, I was right.
I figured I was doing this about a year too early, but I'm so glad we did. It really gave JR an idea of what (and where) he wants to work toward.
(Also, as usual, Reed took everything in for future reference and Kyle was just there for a good time.)
Our first stop was 4 hours down the road at LSU.
Actually our first stop was a gas station for potty breaks and breakfast milkshakes from the F'real machine. You always know you are in Louisiana. Even at a gas station.
LSU started off with a information session that sold Granny Sherry, Reed, and me hook, line and sinker. Jason keeps saying he needs to go to LSU and hire their recruiters as salesman because we couldn't stop talking about how great LSU is.
The tour didn't include the football stadium or their tiger, Mike, so we got on the campus trolley and rode over to see both. (Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw stayed in the student union.)
Tiger Stadium
Mike the tiger lives on campus and we learned the top 2 veterinary students get the privilege of taking care of him. His "enclosure" is nicer than anything at any zoo I've ever seen.
Reed and Mike
And Reed was able to get this picture of him.
After our tour of LSU, we all got back in the cars and headed out for a 5 hour drive to Tuscaloosa, Alabama so we spend the night to start out Day 2.
