<p>We are flying out to visit our freshman and attend this weekend’s events as part of Parents Welcome Weekend. We just got an email telling us that President Obama and First Lady Michelle will be speaking on the Oval on Sunday at 6:15 p.m. Combining this Presidental visit with the Columbus Marathon on Sunday it should be quiet busy when we are there. The presidental event is free and open to the public. Here is a link about it from the Lantern.

<p>And if that wasn’t enough excitement our family now has a new conflict. There is a cartoon festival on campus this weekend and the creator of the Simpsons Matt Groening (I don’t know how to spell his last name) is giving a presentation on Saturday night as the same time as the watch party with President Gee. Tickets are free but students have to pick them up at the Wexner Center. </p>
<p>So it looks like it is going to be a very fun and busy parents welcome weekend.</p>
