the top of the ladder

My little "nuttie-tuttie" graduated from high school in June. He will be attending Carnegie Mellon in the fall so we celebrated (with hundreds of his closest friends) "Texas Style" at Floore Country Store at the end of May.

Here are some pics from the event... I'm catching up, I'm now only a month and a half behind on my blogging!

Hello Strangers!

So here we are almost 2 months later and I am just now going to post about our trip to Annapolis/Washington DC. It was a fabulous trip and and a once in a lifetime experience.

The pictures speak for themselves so I will limit the commentary.

The purpose of the trip was to attend Joseph's cousin's graduation from the US Naval Academy.

The first night we were there, we all went in a limo from Annapolis to DC where we ate dinner and were able to see the Lincoln Memorial at night.

The next morning was the graduation. President Obama was the commencement speaker.

This is the graduate. She is an unbelievably inspiring woman.

Check mark to the "bucket list". According to several internet sites, this restaurant, Cantler's, is considered one of the 10 places you should eat before you die.

The next day was spent touring DC.

It was Memorial Day weekend and there were thousands of bikes in the city for the bike rally.

I'll be back soon with more of what we have been up to the last two months...
