We woke up early and were on the road at 7:30am. We crossed the Ohio River into Cincinnati an hour later and at 10:00am were pulling into the visitor parking lot at UD, on-time for our 10:30 tour and information session.<\/p>\n<p>I thought it would be a little weird going on a tour of the college where I had gone to school (met my wife, and even got married!) with my daughter, but it wasn&#8217;t that odd. It was cool to see all the changes around campus, and what had stayed the same since I had graduated. It was another beautiful brisk fall day and walking around the campus to see the dorms, library, and buildings was very pleasant.<\/p>\n<p>After the tour we hit all our old haunts which included lunch at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marionspiazza.com\/\">Marion&#8217;s Piazza<\/a> and dessert at <a href=\"https:\/\/youngsdairy.com\/\">Young&#8217;s Jersey Dairy<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yellow_Springs,_Ohio\">Yellow Springs<\/a>\u00a0(where we also briefly drove past <a href=\"https:\/\/antiochcollege.edu\/\">Antioch College<\/a> just to see a really small school). Then it was back to driving &#8230; I-675 to I-70 East over to Columbus, and then I-71 North to Cleveland.<\/p>\n<p>By 6:00pm were were in the vicinity of our hotel for the rest of the week on the west side. We stopped at Crocker Park to do some grocery shopping and pick up dinner. Then we checked into the hotel and ate before unloading everything out of the car and getting settled.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow is another college visit and then we&#8217;ll actually\u00a0<em>see\u00a0<\/em>family.<\/p>\n<p><em>Driving stats:\u00a0<\/em>7 hours; 350mi<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
