<p>Who is going this year? My son is a freshman, so we have made air and hotel reservations for the weekend. There seems to be a lot of events to attend, generally what is expected of the parents?</p>
<p>“…what is expected of the parents?”</p>
<p>Near as I can tell … nothing! We spent most of the weekend “out and about.” Breakfast at Camillia Grill, Saturday afternoon on Magazine Street, Saturday dinner on one of the restaurant balconies overlooking Bourbon Street, a drink (expensive!) at Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop, and maybe Cafe du Monde afterward. We like Sunday Brunch at Commanders Palace … (also expensive). That left the afternoon to “do whatever.” </p>
<p>There’s a Tulane thread every year re: “What about Parents’ weekend?” Worthwhile reading.</p>
<p>Support the football team and go to the game! And if the chef is doing the cooking class again this year, sign up for it. It was fun. Renda a car and pile as many of your kids friend in it as humanly possible and take them out for a nice meal. We fed a lot of kids last year! Have fun!</p>
