About 10-15 parents go on every trip (sometimes more on the Platinum Tour). The trip to Annapolis includes a tour of the US Naval Academy and a boat tour of Annapolis (boat trip not free). Then you go to lunch at a cool restaurant (also not free). The perk of the Annapolis tour is that you get to hang out with an OA and Gerry, the Director of Orientation, who is quite the personality.

The DC tour involves a lot of free time to look at the museums…something you could always do on your own. I think you eat at Gordon Birsch.

The Platinum tour is for hard-core parents who want an extended walking tour of campus. It’s like 3 hours long, which can be too much when it tops 90. You eat lunch at Adele’s, which is our on campus restaurant.
