Just a little recap....
Nathan graduated Saturday!!!!
Congratulations, Nathan. :)
This boy worked hard, so this past weekend we celebrated a lot. Melinda and Todd, Shelene and Christopher, and Jim and Lesta were all here to see him walk across the stage. Everyone arrived Thursday afternoon, and the rest of the weekend was spent sightseeing, eating, traveling around in one big van, and marveling that those 4 years are finally over.

This boy worked hard, so this past weekend we celebrated a lot. Melinda and Todd, Shelene and Christopher, and Jim and Lesta were all here to see him walk across the stage. Everyone arrived Thursday afternoon, and the rest of the weekend was spent sightseeing, eating, traveling around in one big van, and marveling that those 4 years are finally over.
The ceremony was held at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue. It was a chilly, partly sunny weekend. 
It was so nice of Jim and Lesta to fly out to be part of the celebration!
On Friday we went to the Seattle Aquarium. Nathan and I had never been there, and it was a lot of fun.
We ate lunch at the aquarium before a visit to Pike Place Market and an Argosy harbor tour. A full day!
After dinner and a little celebration with cake after the graduation, we headed into Seattle for a night view from the Space Needle. 
Sunday we loaded up the van and went to the Woodland Park Zoo. Here is a Komodo Dragon, one of Nathan's favorites. :)
Who knows if Christopher will remember his first big vacation to Seattle, but I'm glad he was here and will be part of our memories of the big weekend. At least he will have his own photos to document the experience. He is patiently waiting to get a photo of a komodo dragon statue.
After the zoo, we had lunch at BluWater in the Green Lake neighborhood, which has become a Rowland clan favorite over several visits. A quick stop at the Kerry Park overlook provided another photo opp. A view of that boy and city we love!It was a packed weekend, all a bit of a blur now. So far I think Nathan is enjoying his freedom, and I hope it is all sinking in. We're so proud of him!
Thank you to everyone for the warm wishes and congratulations. Family, thanks for being here to spend time with us and support Nathan on his big day. We hope you had a great time! We sure did. :) xoxo

I miss you! I'm glad you all had a chance to celebrate Nathan's accomplishments and take in a little more of Seattle's charms (although I'm not sure the komodo dragon counts)
Love, MOM
A big congrats to Nathan for all of his accomplishments and hard work! Wowie zowie! Take some time to enjoy the newfound freedom - you've earned it. Glad you all got a chance to spend the weekend together.
