Diane Graduates!

A few weeks ago, we made the trek up to Duluth to attend Paul's sister Diane's graduation. She has finished her master's degree. Graduating with Diane was her good friend Chris (who she also graduated with for her bachelors degree). Just like when Diane graduated with her bachelors, we all went up to Duluth for the ceremony and stayed across the bridge in Superior, Wisconsin at the Best Western Bridgeview Motor Inn. The inn is great for a family...it has a neat indoor pool and is a great, affordable place to have a fun time. We can't wait until we can make the trek yet again when Paul's sister Anne graduates from the same school.

Diane & Chris, they look so smart!
