Congrats, Erin!


We ventured out (over?) to State College, PA, this weekend to watch Erin collect her diploma from Penn State. She graduated among about 1,100 other students from the Business School (she majored in marketing)--her ceremony being just one of many held throughout the campus during the weekend. (I still can't get over how big that school is!). The graduation itself wasn't too exciting--I was let down by the CEO of Fed Ex's rather canned and uninspiring commencement address--but the festivities were fun. I kept Sissy posted throughout the weekend of the various Happy Valley establishments we hit up, including Spats, the Diner, the Cafe, and the Creamery. Lots of indulging going on, to say the least! But hey, we were celebrating!

The weather was crazy on both days (rain, wind, sun, COLD, etc.), and on the way home the sun made its way through some ominous thunderclouds, revealing a full double rainbow! It lasted for a good two hours, and was especially brilliant as we weaved through the Delaware Water Gap. A total postcard moment. I tried to take some pics from the car, but we'd probably have better luck had we stopped on the shouder, as many other drivers were doing. I haven't seen anything like that outside of Hawaii, and it made the otherwise long and traffic-y trip more eventful.

Lots of pics from the weekend below!
