Finished.. Done! Can't wait for graduation!!
#24




Here is the graduation video. 

We drove up on Friday, Commerce takes about 5 hours to get to from Houston.

We stayed at an airbnb in Ladonia about a 15 minute drive from the college.

It was a small cabin on 30 acres sitting on the edge of a 5 acre pond. Our son was able to come home from college in time to join us for graduation. I was able to play some disc golf at the TAMUC outdoor center before graduation on Saturday with my son, it was a tough course and we only played the front 9 holes. I went to my son's college and played disc golf with him there during his first semester. Neither one of us are pros, but we have a good time together and it is much better than sitting around the house.

We arrived at the graduation ceremony one hour early on Saturday and met with my wife's parents and my aunt and uncle who came to see us graduate. We checked in and went to our staging location to receive our name card and I received my Summa Cum Laude medal to wear during graduation. Once the graduation started, it took just less than one hour to be complete. We met back up with family after graduation and took some pictures on the campus, then we went and ate Mexican food with my wife's parents and celebrated with a few adult beverages.

My wife and I had a great time, and we were both glad to finally finish our Bachelor's degrees and to actually walk. My son has 2 years left in his Mechanical Engineering program, and we can wait to see him graduate! 

We have also encouraged our oldest son to get started with his Associates degree and then work towards his Bachelor's. We both hope he will do it, but that decision is up to him.

I was trying to post some pictures, but the website was not happy with my file sizes.

I was not able to upload photos, so here is a Youtube of a few of the pictures.
You can see a few pictures of the cabin and the area around it.
There are a couple of the adventure center parking lot, this is where we went to play disc golf.
And one picture of my wife and I after graduation.
