Wow Dianne - it sounds like you had an awesome day! I didn't even know what the Newseum was,so I googled it. It looks like a really interesting place.
My son has only recently started talking about college. He's in 8th grade - and has been saying things like, "when I'm in college..." It makes me so happy And he was telling me the other day if he's really good in music, he might be able to get a music scholarship.
My daughter on the other hand {she's in 6th grade} has no interest in college or even working LOL. I think she thinks she'll just live with us and let us take care of her forever.
I'll give her another couple of years - I know when I was in 6th grade my future was just too much for me to think about LOL.
