We took Brianna on her first real road trip this weekend to Gainesville for Tia’s graduation. Many of you have commented on her “99% Angel” shirt and asked when is she ever less than 100% Angel?? Answer: road trips! Still, she wasn’t too bad. She just really, really fought her naps. But even when exhausted, she was still pretty good. She slept great at Uncle Andy and Aunt Michiyo’s house (thank goodness!). All in all, it was a great trip!
Here are some graduation day photos.
Christina Marie (Tia to Brianna) graduated Summa Cum Laude in Nursing. Yay Tia!!

The morning after graduation, we got up really early to head down to campus to reminisce about our college days and to get some gator gear, especially some national championship gear. It was a BEAUTIFUL morning! We started at the Reitz Union and headed down the North Lawn (the Green Banana) to the science library – home of the French Fries and close to Century Tower.
Then we walked a little around the auditorium where I used to perform with the symphonic band, and down to the art library (it is a beautiful tree-lined walk). After that, we headed back towards the tower and saw this fantastic sign – we just had to take a picture!
Brianna will do the TD sign by herself, but generally not when you are trying to take a picture…
After that, we walked up Stadium Rd to The Swamp. It was open, so we stepped inside and took a couple pictures there too.
After that, we went past my old dorm (good old East Hall!) and headed to the bookstore to pick up some Gator gear. The whole family is now all set! We had a wonderful trip. My only regret is not getting a picture of Brianna with her Uncle Andy and Aunt Michiyo. I flat forgot until we were headed out of town.
