Dog Daze Roadtrip Day 2: James Goes to College

SONG: "Making My Way Back to Chicago" by Styx
TRAVEL TIP: Organization helps ease the transition and pain when dropping your kids off at college.

"Am I really ready?

After packing James up in Naperville, we headed off to the city. As we approached Lake Shore Drive, we could see Roosevelt's new skyscraper standing tall in the Chicago skyline.
"The Big Roosey". The old and the new!

View from the bunk. Not as cool as the Tredyffrin Library, but pretty good.
James' dorm is really great. Common rooms are on the corner of every floor with views of Lake Michigan. Good cheap restaurants all around. Great neighborhood. We had a day of meetings finished by a cocktail party with the faculty [parents only, no students]. We said good bye to James knowing he is ready and in good hands.
