A weekend with my boys. Not often I get to do this, but I am so excited! Tomorrow we fly out of Detroit, bright and early to Portland, Maine. ( a new state for both the boys). In Portland we will drive north to the Canadian Border, and cross into New Brunswick ( also a new province for the boys.) The reason for this trip is for Jason and I to accompany our baby boy ( okay yes he is 17), to visit two east coast schools that he has been accepted to. Ethan has a vision, maybe even a dream, of attending a small, ivy league style east coast school. He really wants a small town community, and a place that feels like a family whee he can feel that he can really belong. He has found 3 schools that fit the brief. One in Quebec, one in New Brunswick and one in Nova Scotia. One this trip we will visit the two east coast schools. Our first school we will visit will be Mount Allison University in Sackville, NB. Approximately 40 minutes east of Moncton. The second school we will see is St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, 2. 5 hours east of Moncton and 2 hours North west of Halifax. Both schools are under 5000 students, both offer programs of Canadian Studies, and Government and Law, a few areas of interest for Ethan. And both have that ivy league, east cost architecture and community that he is hoping for. At this time he is slightly leaning towards one over he other, but is going into this trip with a completely open mind. ... stay tuned, we will fill you in on how this goes.
