What's this?

Winter here is not that much different from most of Virginia


It's just a little bit colder.

I would take him to whatever major he is thinking about doing , or at least a college in his area of interest so he can see things the buildings and departments associated.

Also, don't go to Dietrick, go anywhere else on campus to eat. I know you aren't trying to wow him with the top hits, but I think I ate at Dietrick once in 4 years.

Has he seen much of Blacksburg? I'd ride him up 460 to N. Main St. Then ride N. Main St. all the way down to at least First and Main to say, hey, this is Blacksburg outside of campus. Just so he understands it's not a big place.
