Last weekend the family and I took a trip to West Virginia Wesleyan for my wife’s 25th College reunion. The kids and I were a little pissed that we had to cut the annual family pilgrimage to nerd mecca (aka Comic Con) short this year. In order to make the trip to West Virginia in time for the reunion we could only attend the opening day of the Con, but since Ski’s 25th reunion only comes around once and Comic Cons are eternal, the kids I sucked it up in order to make Mommy happy.
It was also my first, and most likely last trip to West Virginia so we splurged and rented this nice little ride called the Chevy Cruze for the trip down. I haven’t driven much since I got rid of my car a few years back and I have been missing owning one. We don’t really need one in NYC so getting to drive a new car was something I was looking forward to doing. The satellite radio and the GPS made the trip pretty enjoyable.
All in all the weekendturned out to be way more fun than I expected. Now granted my expectations were pretty low considering all of the stories the wife has told me over the years about West Virginia. But the hotel we stayed at was pretty upscale and fairly cheap. We got to see where my wife spent her formative collegiate years. And the kids got a small taste of what going away to college might look like. With that said, I am gonna take the fam to the Oberlin homecoming next year so the wife and kids can see my school. I haven’t been back since the year after I graduated and I am curious as to how my college has changed.
