Graduation/Father's Day

It seems I may have made it to my last graduation.  I suppose it's only my fifth....Strangely they become more and more important but less and less people graduate.  This time it was just me (graduating).  And there was a lovely dinner in my honor.  Dad flew down just for the night as well, which was very nice.

Sunday was Father's day and Ellie and I took my dad out to breakfast before his early flight home.  Fortunately Ellie gets up ridiculously early so we didn't have a problem making it to the Pancake Pantry before the line got out the door.  Later that day we went to Cheekwood for their latest exhibition since the last two were such great hits with the Drzewiecki family.  This time it was a theme called "treehouses".  It wasn't as great as the last two, but it was a nice family activity, even if it got pretty hot out.

My very own engraved instruments.  Apparently they had a hard time getting my full name on the small instruments...

This was also a nicely engraved clock.  And I got a chair!  Wahoo I made out!

The first treehouse.  I think this one was called Walden.  They were all named after a literary reference I think.

The Conch from Lord of the Flies

Can't remember exactly what book this was but it is clearly a pirate ship

Ahoy matey!

I must have stopped paying attention to the literary references because I can't remember this one either...but it was cool how they did it with all the cd's

Not sure how this was a "treehouse" as it was suspended over water, but it was kind of cool.
