Graduation road trip weekend is coming to a close. I’ve been packing up our stuff and loading up the car. Harry went home with his dad yesterday so it’s just me and Jen and Nana this time.
Bellana is coming to the hotel to have breakfast with us. Bonus time! After that we will check out and head South.
All in all it was a great weekend, celebrating Bellana and her fellow UVM graduates. Congratulations to the class of 2023!
I’ll replace this with a higher resolution image later, but that’s her, getting her diploma from the college of arts and sciences biochem department.
The University of Vermont Commencement ceremony is taking place right now. They are conferring the degrees as I write this.
Bellana will officially be a college graduate any minute now!!!
Both of my step kids are students at the University of Vermont. My step son gave us a quick tour of some of one campus while leading us to my step daughter’s ceremony of the day.
Check out my step daughter, getting honored by her college. I promise she’s in this photo.
I promise she’s in this one as well, though she’s a smidge on the blurry side.
We just came from the college of arts and sciences award ceremony. Bellana was recognized for completing the honors college thesis paper and defense.
I am so proud I might spontaneously combust.
We are going to take her out to dinner tonight because it’s also her 22nd birthday. It’s just a big day all around.
I just packed a backpack full of camera gear. Three cameras, two 35mm and one mirrorless, four lenses in total, and six fresh rolls of film. Also a shit load of various Apple chargers, a small food scale, and a couple of camera chargers.
Tomorrow I’ll put my MacBook Pro and probably my iPad into the bag too. Then I need to pack a bag full of protein bars and go to the grocery store to buy a shit load of water bottles and sugar free gatorade to put into a cooler that I want to keep in the car. I need to get ice too.
The only other thing left to pack is one collared shirt that I washed earlier today that is hang drying in the cellar. Tomorrow morning I’ll throw that in the suitcase.
Oh yeah! I also need to pack a travel shaving kit, a tooth brush, and some deodorant.
All of this for four days in Vermont.
Totally worth it. I can’t wait.
