I don't think Shari realizes that Manhattan isn't even a 10th of the size of the rest of NY, and upstate is literally nothing like the city. That being said upstate NY is very beautiful and a great place to live/ visit, I just don't understand what she thinks it is. I've only been to NYC a handful of times in my life and I personally have never liked the "city life". Then again I've always been confused what her draw to NYC is? Does she really think she's going to be some big hot shot lawyer in NYC? I'm pretty sure Ruby isn't going to let her grand child-making machine move half way across the country.
Also, I don't think I will ever understand why it seems like Kevin, who is an educated man and a college professor, doesn't seem to value his child's education? The delaying of school Russel is obviously an issue, as stated above. How does he not know what June is? And they all think it's funny? Honestly if I had to guess Russell's age without knowing I would think he was 4. Then again, he is trapped at home all day with Eve doing things that are probably at Eve's level of learning. I can't even imagine what Eve is going to turn into, she is very clever and I can see her being even more of a little manipulator when she's Russell's age. I guess that would be funny to watch Ruby deal with

I live in NY (45 minutes outside the city if there's no traffic) and have visited West Point. It's a nice place, but kind of boring to visit. Since Kevin will be working, I don't think they will be going far out of that area while he's there. NYC is also not close to West Point; it's about an hour and 15 minute drive-with no traffic. Honestly, I think she'll be bored there. I hope her reasoning behind going is to experience new things, without the hope of going to Manhattan. Otherwise, she might be in shock, NY suburbs are similar to Utah landscape, without the mountains in our backyards.
