My First Parents' Weekend. Advice?

[payitforward]

So, after the awesomeness of FROG week graduation at UNG, once I got back home to NJ, there were SO many things I would have done differently -- like -- I would have exchanged email addresses with other parents, and I would have been more personable and friendly in an effort to make friends with other cadet parents. I did make connections with a few people, but, for sure, I would have been less introspective about my son's departure from the nest, and more outgoing about making friends in his new world.

So, with Parents' Weekend coming up in 2 weeks, I don't want to come home wondering what I could have done differently to get the most out of it.

Any advice? Can't wait to see DS!
