[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, any chance you'll share the school? This is school dependent in my opinion. She wants to visit Harvard and you're happy to go to Boston? Sure, spend a day in Cambridge (and in this case, add on another school or two - MIT, Tufts, BC, etc.) She wants to visit Cornell? If you're happy spending times in the Finger Lakes, than sure. But, if it's a place far away from anywhere you'd go otherwise then no. Make it breezy. And I wouldn't worry too much about her fixating on a school. Things will likely change over the years, and if they don't, you can start helping her expand her mindset later down the line.[/quote]

Air Force Academy. Definitely not opposed to visiting Colorado Springs (we're outdoorsy), but I admit we've never considered vacationing there. [/quote]
This is funny, we actually toured the Air Force Academy when I was a rising sixth grader. It's pretty neat.[/quote]
^^ To add, we did it as a part of a cross country trip that included a lot of National Parks in the Southwest. Colorado Springs had a lot to do between Pike's Peak and Valley of the Gods. I think there was a hot spring nearby too. It was a really great trip. [/quote]
