<p>It sounds like your kids are hooked on the Central coast of California! True, there could be a lot WORSE places to go to school! 
I’m so glad you had a positive visit. I love the story about the drum shop! What a neat coincidence! I think you should share this story over on the Cal Poly Parents group!</p>

<p>"Thanks for the welcome, everyone. We did tour the campus in August. We all loved it, especially my son. When we toured U Michigan last February, it was literally zero degrees outside and there were 7 ft snow drifts all over the campus. Pretty sure that played a role in his decision, even though Anne Arbor is a pretty neat town.</p>
<p>Anyway, we spent some time checking out the CP area - spent a day at Pismo and another at Morro Bay. The kids disappeared for almost a whole day hiking the hills across the street from Embassy Suites. They had a blast. Also hit some of the shops, restaurants and galleries downtown. The campus tour was excellent.</p>
<p>A funny sidenote - my son is a drummer in a band, so we stopped at the local shop there (Drum Circuit). We told the owner where we were from and it turned out he is good friends with the owner of the shop we go to in Nashville. He gave my son a Drum Circuit t-shirt. Pretty cool introduction to the friendly nature of the people in SLO.</p>
<p>I could see myself living there. Maybe someday."</p>
