Graduation #2

Our second graduation this month was for Jeff. He graduated from George Washington Law School. We couldn't be more proud! It was on a Sunday which was weird but that seems to be how things are these days. His ceremony for the entire University was right below the Washington Monument which was super cool. It's not everyday you get to graduate right there on the Washington mall.

 Ok let's light this candle. On the way to the ceremony. One of millions of people.
 Right after the first ceremony we took some pictures with the white house in behind. 
Quite a backdrop! We walked up to the campus and looked for a place to eat on the way. Because it was Sunday there were lots of places closed which was surprising but nice to see. We did find a great sandwich shop called Taylor that ended up being a fantastic find. It threatened to rain off and on all day and was a little chilly for me. So we went to Starbucks next door and indulged in some hot chocolate. Then it was off to George Washington and the next ceremony.
 The Law School graduation was really long.They had alot of students to read through. We enjoyed the speeches more though I think.
 Jeff getting his Diploma!!
 Hayden & Megan didn't have tickets to the graduation so they spent the day at Arlington National Cemetery and did some bike riding to some sites. 
 We texted them to come over because after awhile people started leaving and they were able to come in. Darrell and Nowrette had to leave just after Jeff got his diploma. It was fun to hang with out them. After the final ceremony we took some pictures with hordes of people all around.

 We had fun torturing Jeff with lots of picture taking. What a day. We are so proud of Jeff for surviving Law School and for Rachel supporting him all these years to help make it happen. There are good things in their future.
