Yesterday we drove up to Charlottesville to celebrate with Stephen on his graduation from The University of Virginia! We got there in the early afternoon and the graduation was this morning. We are very excited for him and all the adventures that are coming for him!
When we arrived Saturday afternoon, we became college students. The whole family had a dorm suite to ourselves...we all adjusted well to college life, though, including sharing a bathroom :)I know you don't see my handsome hubby in any of these shots. He wasn't able to join us...he was in Charlotte with some friends for the NASCAR race hehe I will post pictures of his weekend soon.
Stephen and Michael took us on a tour of the grounds. Here we are on the steps of the Rotunda. We had to rest here for a while...Baby Fernandez won't let me get too much exercise in these last few weeks!

We had to rest here for a while...Baby Fernandez won't let me get too much exercise in these last few weeks!On Saturday night we went to Carmello's Italian restaurant, where we gave Stephen some graduation gifts and encouragement. It was a late dinner...we didn't leave there until 11:45! We're big party monsters these days!
This morning we got up early to eat breakfast in the dining hall, and then while mom, dad, and Michael went to The Lawn for the ceremony, the rest of us sat together where we could watch it on a big screen (Stephen was only allowed 3 tickets to the actual graduation). It was a ceremony full of tradition...interesting to learn about.
After the ceremonies, we ate lunch at Stephen's house. 
We are all so proud of you, Stephen! Love you :)
