Any special plans before they leave?

We are making our son’s favorite dinner the night before - but we just returned from his “farewell trip”, a one-week bike trip with Mom and Dad (no other siblings) through Vermont. Each of our four kids gets a trip like this before college.

Although it’s a big transition for both parents and student, the first year usually includes at least 2-3 trips to campus by the parents (Orientation, Parents’ Weekend, a football game, etc.), so the transition is eased somewhat.
