Grad school grad

July 29th, 2011

Congratulations Jean!!!

One of my closest friends from college, recently graduated from IUP with her Masters degree.  We are so proud of you Jean!  Seth and I went to visit for the ceremony, and got to spend some quality time with her and Nelson.

 

We spent a day in Indiana, Pennsylvania, then traveled to Pittsburgh for the remainder of the weekend.  We visited the Duqene Incline in the evening, and were lucky enough to see the fireworks after the Pirates won.

On our final day in Pittsburgh we went to Phipps Conservatory.

Every time I visit Pittsburgh, we always do something new and memorable, and this trip was no exception.  It was beautiful, sunny and all the flowers were in full bloom.

In the midst of all the flowers were sets of beautiful scultptures.  These are titled Longfellows by Hans Godo Frabel, 2006.

We were very lucky to be there on a day when many of the butterflies were hatching.

Pittsburgh is one of my favorite cities and it never lets me down.  I’m still convinced they had the fireworks that night just to celebrate Jean’s achievement……
