Capital, Muskingum and Mount Union

Day one began with Capital University. My mom went there when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, okay not that long ago and absolutely loved it. I was excited to see her alma mater and ended up really liking the school.
A good start is never a good sign for me; it usually means my (bad) luck will catch up with me later. A road trip, of course, is never complete without construction, toll booths and the occasional tornado warning along with flash flooding. As you can see below luck is never on my side.
The next stop was Muskingum University and I could tell as soon as we pulled up that it was not going to be where I spent my college years. I walked on campus and walked right back off.
Another favorite part of road trips in constantly searching for a good, or at the very least bearable, radio station. It was a hard decision between oldies and country. Pictured below are the endless rows of corn that inspired my radio station picks for the trip. It was country.
The final stop of day one was to the University of Mount Union. It is absolutely gorgeous, the buildings all looked new but were built with brick to give it that old time look, and it’s a perfect size. It’s also part of a small town and they get really into the football team. The only bad thing about it is that it’s over four hours away from my house which is a little farther then I want to be. Still I could see myself there.
