Brian Patrick graduated from High School on Friday!!!!!
Warning...there are lots of photos in this entry...had a great trip...can't help myself!!!!
We flew this year...which means we missed getting to see all of our friends on the way out, however, fewer hours on the road wasn't a bad thing!
One thing like last year, it was HOT...HOT...HOT there! We left home here with temps in the high 60s, low 70s...I'm not sure if it actually hit 100 in Maryland or not, but it was close enough to count if it didn't!
Lyn surprised Brian with a limo to pick us all up to make the trip downtown...allowed us to avoid the Metro and the taxi situation for Aunt Pat. It was really cool! I hadn't been in a limo for a long time...and boy did it make the trip to and from downtown DC a breeze!!! Brian was pretty stoked about it too! He especially liked the fact that we were early getting there so we took it to MickeyDs!!!
We were able to drop Brian, Lyn, and Aunt Pat at the building then...Robby and I couldn't get in yet, so we took off to take some photos. I love, love, love taking photos in Washington DC!!! I'm not much of a history buff...but the history there just gives me chills! We walked over to the newest attraction...the WWII memorial...it was awesome! While standing at the base of the Washington Monument waiting on Robby to get a hot dog (he just wanted the bun so he could feed the ducks!), a line of presidential like cars (security...security...security...limo...security...security...security etc.) went by...we think it was actually the President's motorcade. That was interesting...I don't much care for the current President so I decided to not even bother with a photo. Still interesting though! Anyway, by the time we got the bun and went back over to the reflecting pool to feed the ducks, we were both so sweaty our clothes were drenched! That meant it was time to head to graduation and get in the airconditioning. We were disgusting!!! Oh well...like anyone there knew me!!! Ha ha!!! Robby said he hoped he actually wouldn't see anyone he knew until his clothes dried!!!

The speaker at graduation was a guy from ESPN...he was GOOD!!! Brian was a clown during the entire ceremony...silly boy...just take a look!!!
Brian's girlfriend Brittany was also a senior at Gaithersburg...
A couple family photos...
His party was the next day and we had a crab feast!!! Yummy!!!! Here are a few photos of that as well!!!
Oh, and what could a party with teenage boys be without a little Guitar Hero???
What a great trip!!! Thanks for the incredible hospitality Lyn!!! 2 down...1 to go...but we get to skip a year this time!!!
