Our first college campus stop was Vanderbilt. We stopped at Vandy while we were staying in Tennessee for Christmas. We got our own personal tour from our cousin, Brian, who is a pitcher on the Vanderbilt baseball team. Brian showed us the football stadium, which is in a complex that is next to the baseball field and basketball stadium. He then brought us on to the baseball field, which was amazing. He gave us a look at the pitching lab that he works out in...very cool! That night we went to a Vanderbilt basketball game and got to see the arena and sat in the student section. Vandy seems to have a great athletic program. Our next college stop was on our way out to Montana. After driving for 7 hours, we decided to stop at a hotel in Columbia, where the University of Missouri is. We stayed at a Hampton Inn on campus, it was a real college town. The campus was one big square and the town was built within it. It had lots of great shops and restaurants. The next morning we stopped at a souvenir shop and went to check out the Mizzou football stadium "Welcome To The Zou". University of Missouri is a "Tier 1" law program...and Ian Kinsler went to school there!

Grant, It is great that you are getting a chance to see various campuses. This is a real advantage for a later decision as to which "Tier 1" Law school you will attend. There are a couple in NC that are not too shabby but that's another story. The 7 hr. drives are probably worth the effort to be in the Rockies doing what you do well. Thanks for the update on Vandy (cool you got to get a "cooks" tour) and Mizzou. Keep up the blogging asit is very interesting. Who is Ian Kinsler? :-)
