Day 6 Nov 30 Fri Stony Brook NY to Pennington New Jersey to Breezewood PA
Whew! We are really pushing the envelope in terms of how far we can travel in one day without going crazy.
Woke up this morning and we headed to Stony Brook SchoolI didn't hang around for the interview or the tour at this school although I wish I had. Now that I am looking at the website I am realizing that this is a Christian private boarding school. I am always interested in the religious brainwashing of children. The campus of this school was not quite so remote but it was still beautiful non the less. It seemed a bit more stuffy than other schools.
To my suprise Stony Brook was the only school that I would give the "stuffy" label to with Fay School coming in second. By the end of the day today we had been to 4 schools and 2 would get the "stuffy" label from me and 2 would get the progressive "hippie" label from me. That is me speaking in gross generalizations though. All are great schools.
I instead went wandering about to the town near by that once again was historic and quaint and had a beautiful harbor. I checked things out and we shot some video and then we went to this very cute villiage inn for brunch.
Then off to New Jersey to Penninton SchoolI did not hang out for this inteview and tour either. This school seems pretty liberal from what deb communicated to me. Actually I think that I like this school a little more now that I have read this . You know I really love the fact that this school encourages everyone to come together and worship no matter what religon. Now that is amazing. Definitly a more progressive school with the thinking that they are creating and educating community leaders not more future rich people.
I once again wandered in to town and shot video of the area and the school. This school was also not as remote at all. But very much a part of a quaint town with lots of suburbia creeping up around it.
Then we had a pretty long drive to Breezewood PAAND this town was literally one big truck stop. Like gross. check this out...I was like the Sodom and Gamorah of rural PA.We had to eat at Bob Evans...not the biggest fan but it was better than our other options. I have to say Deb and I have done pretty good. While we haven't necessarily eaten all of the greatest things we have NOT eaten at a single fast food place yet.
Now this day was way longer than yesterday.
We totally crashed.
