Blue Monday - College Graduation

This past Saturday, my youngest brother graduated from College, earning both an Associate's and Bachelor's Degree. I'm immensely proud of him, so today's post is in his honor.
Congratulations John-John!!!

The venue for the graduation ceremony was an ornately decorated Community Art Center. What a stunning facility!

This is a zoomed in shot of the huge arch topped wall grill in the photo above (center of photo).

Ceiling.

Plush seating and ornate brass railings.

One of the many ceiling medallions.

Look at the stack of Diplomas ready to be given to the graduates. When it was announced the ceremony would last 90 minutes, one of my sisters immediately pulled out a book and began to read, while the other sister said she felt compelled to clap for each and every graduate (can you guess which sister is the mother of 3, and which one has no children?).

Whoo-hoo!!! Way to go Kiddo!

Here my brother poses with his wife and 3 month old baby. Isn't he precious! His shirt says, "My Daddy is a Super Hero". Proud Grandpa in the back.


Time to drive home for a Grandma's huge cold cut sandwiches before starting all the prep for our sister's wedding the next day.
(it was a crazy weekend)

Check out this cute little parking lot located near the art center. That's a mural painted on the side of a brick building. I snapped this shot because the mural had so many wonderful shades of blue, but now I realize all the vehicles in the photo are blue too.


This is probably a dead giveaway, but can you guess which University?
(We Are, P _ _ _ S _ _ _ _!)

Here's another hint - the PENNsylvania STATE flag.
