The only other time I had been to NJ was over 10 years ago when we went to visit Cary's alma matters - he also went to Lawrenceville and Princeton, which is right down the road. So I must not be in the "armpit of America" part, because it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to!
When you grow up in a relatively lush & green part of the world, then move to the desert, it's AMAZINGLY nice to go back to lovely old oak trees and grass as far as the eye can see.
It was cool to see the boys' houses, but it was kind of sad to watch Sean pack up his room, reminding me of my own freshman year in college. Going to boarding school (especially this one) has really put him one up on most high schoolers. I know I was scared to death my first day at Carbondale. It'll be easy for Sean after his Lawrenceville experience.
Some pics from his room, our group dinner (all the graduates and their families), the wonderful speech given by a teacher who is also leaving Lawrenceville, and the awards ceremony. I love my Mark II - it's so damn versatile! :)
