I got so wrapped up in the budget woes that I never got around to elaborating about my wonderful weekend in Jacksonville. The last weekend in July we went to Florida to see our son graduate from the University of North Florida. He graduated with honors with a degree in Accounting. What a grand weekend we had. When we got there on Thursday, he still had one exam left to take. When he finished, he brought a bottle of Champagne home and the celebration officially started. On Friday morning we took a tour of the law school where he will start in January--Florida Coastal School of Law. Very impressive. Friday afternoon was commencement and Friday nite was a celebratory dinner. Saturday morning we went out on the Intercoastal on jet skis. Saturday nite we went to the dog track/poker room and Sunday we went boating around St.Augustine. It couldn't have been any better. One of the best things about the weekend was having both my children together at the same time. Having my whole family complete just happens so rarely that words can't express what a treat that is. Here are some pix of the happy event. The beautiful brunette is our daughter Cindy, the graduate is, of course, our son Jason, and the lovely blonde is his wife, Beth. Oh, yes, and the bearded hunk is my wonderful husband Brian!

Jacksonville Weekend
