Weekend at Clarkson University

Pat and I drove up to Clarkson for Parent's Weekend on Friday - 3 hours across the Adirondacks. There was snow starting on top of Prospect Muontain in Lake George, peaking at 6 - 7 inches of wet and heavy birch bending snow in Indian Lake and all the way to the Hudson/St. Lawrence Divide near Blue Mountain Lake. Zac was in good spirits, very glad to see his Mom.

We attended 2 hockey games. Friday, Clarkson beat Wayne State 5 - 2. Saturday, they beat them again 7 - 1. At the game we found Pat's cousin with his two sons. The older one, Alex, is also a freshman this year.

Zac sent us to bed both nights after the hockey game so he could go out with his buds.

We had a great room, though, at The Brambles Inn & Gardens, so we didn't mind too much. Our room was the one to the left at the top of the landing on this page of their website. The hallway wall painting was done by local artist who works at the son's store downtown. Additionally, I couldn't have been happier considering what Clarkson has to offer the metallurgist: The Center for Materials Processing!
