D.O.N.E.

My parents are DONE with kids in high school.
John is also DONE with high school.
He's off to Carnegie Mellon University in the fall with a full Navy R.O.T.C. Scholarship! YAHOO!!!
This weekend was full of graduation events and lots of fun. Friday his senior class did a lunch cruise on the Potomac (icky weather, but oh well) and Saturday was graduation followed by a fabulous reception and opening gifts at home!!!! :)
MJ and I just before leaving port.
AF memorial in the fog
Washington Monument and me
oh-my-gosh. Base housing at Bolling AFB. Are you kidding me? ON THE RIVER! And this isn't for the 0-7 folks . . .
John's class, minus a few, on the top deck of the boat.

the whole family--thank goodness for my gorilla tri-pod and the hood of Melissa's car!
Ahhhh, we finally found him the crowd
