We were up and out the door by 7 am. The graduating class is so big and the venue too small to handle all the people so the college held three separate graduations! Megan’s graduation was at 9:30 AM with first come first serve seating.
After dropping Kelly off at Megan’s apartment Patrick, Ron and I went to the stadium to secure our seats. We were first in line waiting for the gates to open.
The morning started out cool but quickly heated up so we found ourselves sitting in the bleachers in the hot sun. We were sitting in the same spot that we sat in at the West Point Graduation with the sun in front of us – enhancing our tans! LOL
As it turned out we were sittting in a great spot because Megan’s seat was at the beginning of the row directly in front of us.
Ellensburg native and alumnus Doug Wood, president and COO of Tommy Bahama, delivered the keynote commencement speech. Interestingly, we noticed that most of the graduates had their cell phones out. Some were snapping pictures, others texting. Boy the world has sure changed.
Megan is receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree with a Major in Sociology and a Minor in Psychology. Way to go Megan!
The graduation was very long (3.5 hours) and hot in the bright sun. Everyone was happy when it was over especially the graduates who had to sit in the direct sunlight with their cap and gowns on.

After graduation Megan went to lunch with Toby and the Levesque’s. We headed back to the house to grab a bite, pack and make the trip back to Auburn to Kelly’s. By the time we arrived home it was close to 7 pm and we were all tired from a very,very busy and happy day. Tomorrow there will be a small get together to celebrate Megan’s graduation at Kelly & Patrick’s. Looking forward to seeing Megan again before we return to Massachusetts on Monday.
