The kids had another day off from school, so we used it for a quick trip to LA to check some schools off the list. While I think both kids are very open to going “away” for school, I sense a new appreciation for life in California.
We only had time to see the big schools. Both of them loved USC, but Liv was especially excited to learn about all the sites that stood in for fake-Yale in Gilmore Girls. It’s ironic that UCLA is coming at the end of our travels as the LA grandparents have lived and worked on campus for decades. Both campuses are beautiful and sell themselves.
We actually spent the most time at Century City, though Lucas and I were not much help for prom-dress shopping. Most importantly, we had a nice dinner with Dave and LA grandma and grandpa. Sometimes an overnight is just the right amount of time for a trip.
