College Road Trip Day 10: Charlotte It's a Sunday - another no-school-tour day. Ten days on the road, and hotels and restaurant food are catching up with us. We opted for a movie to pass the time. Anna had not seen Inception, so we found an AMC theatre on the way to our next college (Davidson). We both enjoyed the movie (my second viewing), and analyzed it over lunch at Panera. This is a the great thing about watching your child mature - you can experience the same thing and have an intelligent conversation about it, learning about each other in the process. We've had many of these conversations on the road the past ten days, and I'm certain that she will be successful in college.

We collapsed in our room at the Sleep Inn. At this point, nothing sounded good to eat (we're discovering the limit on how many times you can eat out before it loses its appeal ;-) A call home brought the diagnosis: red meat (specifically steak.) The amazing thing is that this part of North Carolina has more hibachi/sushi places than good old-fashioned steak houses (who wudda thunk?)

I will be glad to be home in 2 days, but will be sad that this time with Anna is coming to an end.
