Ah, it is a brave new world. Today is (was) the day that Ashley completed her four years of higher education
and John's Hopkins gave her the most expensive piece of paper she will ever own. Here is a view of the stage that
Ashley graduated on.

(She's at the very, very end...)
Ashley and her Diploma

What came next was a bunch of boring stuff. Some people talked. There were awards given out. Then, finally,
it was Ashley's turn to walk across the stage. Click the link to see the video footage of that. There is also
footage of Ashley opening her diploma for the first time. Awww, isn't that sweet.
Both videos will open a
new window.

Isn't Ashley's family so proud? Here they are at the beginning of the photo op. And yes, they really were standing side ways in the tent.

Ashley and her other high school buddy, Nicki. Okay, so Nicki wasn't really there (in case you couldn't tell), but I've got some time to kill these days.

Ashley and long time friend and Girl Scout mentor Velva.

Velva taking a break before dinner. It was a long drive to Baltimore due to some construction on the Beltway.

Stephanie and her skirt. Ah, to be 17 again...

After the ceremony we all went out to dinner at this fantastic Italian restaurant in downtown Baltimore. It
was such a loverly relax dinner. We were joined by Ashley's aunt, uncle and their children, and her cousin. I
forgot their names... Here Ashley is looking over the menu.

|
Isn't the table lovely? Especially when you apply a cool filter to the picture.
|
|
Here is Ashley again! (Okay, she was sitting pretty much across the table from me. It was easy to take her picture!)
|
|
This was our waiter. I forgot his name. But he was really good at making sure my wine glass had wine in it.
|
|
Yet another picture of Ashley. What can you do?
|
|
After dinner we traveled down the street to get dessert. It was good and so much food after the big dinner we
ate. And so ended our trip to Baltimore to see Ashley graduate from college. It was too cool and maybe we'll get
to do it again some day!

Let me know if for any reason you would like to get prints of the pictures pictured here. They were all taken
with a digital camera. Also, feel free to copy the pictures and do what you see fit. Enjoy!
