Madd Max College Tours Poughkeepsie

Vassar looked a little mini Harry Potter.  Jess dug it.
 
Max dug the reclining lecture seating.
Then it was time to pick up Madd and Sam for lunch.
 
At the Culinary Institute of America's cafe.
Where there were fancy desserts.
After dropping Madd (to read) and Sam (to work) off at the library, Jess and Max headed to Marist where their tour was cancelled mid-way thru due to thunderstorms.
A stop at Steven's for dinner.
Where Bebe showed us her talk on axolotl.
Upon arrival in Bloomfield, Sonia was covered in love.

Madd Max Stops In Boston

To show Sam and Max.
Her second semester school location.  Maddie was underwhelmed, since if it was possible she would never actually land in Boston and just do every semester abroad.

And these airbnb vibes.
 
And this fabulous breakfast at Husk.

Madd Max Has A Nashville Day

Beginning with the Farmers Market.
A stop in East Nashville after a very long and humid walk.

Although the experience of Broadway was had.
Yee-haw!
