First we headed south to Annapolis, Maryland (after a quick, fun overnight with Patrick's sister, Diane & family - thanks guys!). My brother, Cameron, just finished his four years at the U.S. Naval Academy and we got to join lots of friends and family there to celebrate Commissioning Week - a whole week of events leading up to graduation. My parents rented a house for the week and we had a great time enjoying some of the events, and also just hanging out together. The kids especially enjoyed playing with their cousins. The grown-ups attended the Garden Party, got to meet classmates and mentors, and got a private Cameron-lead tour of campus. We all got to walk around campus a few times, and I think we managed to see most of it. It's very pretty, and there are lots of monuments and such to see. We also got to see my cousins, Andy and Diane, and their kids one evening for a long-overdue reunion, but I forgot to take any pictures (duh). I also forgot to take pictures at Cameron's graduation party. You can see some from that night (including a very sweaty family picture of us!) and more over on my brother John's blog (including posts here, here, here, and here.)

Patrick and Elijah got to go to the Blue Angels show - it was amazing!
Lots more photos of the little girls' birthday party and graduation, and maybe even some videos coming soon!
