Visiting out East

We have had the joy of visiting our son and his family out east for the past week. We had a rather tempestuous flight coming here, though. 
 The flight was uneventful until we were close to our destination, then we hit turbulent weather and quite frankly, the way our plane pitched and plummeted, it felt like we were on a roller-coaster ride! We had to divert to an airport south of our destination where we waited for two hours as the storm passed. This was the view of the sky from the airport shortly after we landed. Yes, it was a very bad storm! We were just so thankful when we finally arrived at the place where we could leave the plane, rent our car and drive to the kids' house. It was late when we arrived, so we saw our grand-daughter and daughter-in-law just briefly, then headed for a comfortable night's sleep.  
 It is wonderful to be surrounded by the lush green of this area, but the humidity is a bit overwhelming for us, after living so many years in a drier climate. 
 The main reason for our visit was the graduation of our son from his medical residency.
The proud doctor after four years of hard work!

 We've enjoyed so many precious moments with our youngest grandchild.



 On Saturday evening, the hospital hosted a celebration ceremony for the graduates. We were so privileged to be there for this special event.
Goal accomplished, signed and delivered!
Well, done son! We are so proud of you!
