ATL

As Sam enters the second half of his Junior year in high school he is already looking ahead at what/where he wants to be after graduation (yes, quite the driven one this guy!)

He recently had the brilliant realization that he should focus on being in the right place first, then figuring out the right course of study would follow. So he has started to focus on larger universities in urban areas with plenty of engineering options... so naturally we thought of: Georgia Tech! (Go Jackets!!!)

Of course we had to go visit...

It was a super-quick trip so that neither of us would miss much work/school... but we crammed as much into 24 hours as possible! We experienced an information session with the Aerospace Engineering Program, a self-guided tour of campus, and a meet up with a friend-of-a-friend's super cool daughter/Tech student who was so gracious to meet us and talk to Sam about the school:

We even squeezed in a quick visit to the zoo to see the pandas!!!!🐼

No doubt it was a great introduction to what life after high school has to offer - including incredible programming, fun mascots and interesting people, and of course all the entertainment and dining options that come with living in a big city.
And of course, I always love to go explore a fun city - especially when it's my old stomping ground. I definitely need to get back soon and see some friends... until then I'll keep taking Sam wherever he wants to go tour!
