Sunday after a wonderful brunch with Mom and Dad Fallon, we drove to Pittsburgh. Of course we didn't know at the time that the Pittsburgh Penguins were going to be celebrating their championship on the same day that we were to tour PITT. Here is an article about it! http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sports/2009339562_aphknstanleycupparade.htmlAh well...now that was exciting. Check out this great school! http://www.pitt.edu/ All three guys ended up taking the tour on their own while I tried to extricate the van from the parking garage...sorry no pictures of this excitement, and I will save that story for later....maybe. For now, I will let you envision it on your own! Colin, Ian and Matt all loved PITT. The campus is right in the City with beautiful stately buildings. The programs were right on course with what they wanted to do.
I find it fascinating to see where the various campus are in terms of technology and comparing and contrasting that with our secondary campuses. I love the electronic kiosks whether they are in the airport or in college admission offices! The kiosk concept has certainly evolved through the years.
We did eventually make it out of the City, and we headed to Gettysburg. Unbeknownst (sp?) to Ian, his surprise 16th birthday party would be waiting for him at O'Rorke's! What a great time...We had a great turnout and a good time was had by all! Although Ian's birthday doesn't officially arrive until October, he had a great time reconnecting with his old Gettysburg pals!
