What a blast!

So I was away this weekend for my eldest brothers graduation. He just recently attended military broadcasting school in Maryland, and graduated top of his class. I'm so proud. ^^
We left Thursday and fell asleep the moment we got to the motel. XD We were suppose to get there sooner but my Momma had an issue with her meds so we didn't leave until late afternoon. On Friday, we(my brother, my family and our friends) went to a very small cafe in little Italy. Apparently the place is a favorite haunt of the actor Daniel Craig(the most resent 007 for those who didn't know) so we had fun talking to the two owners who had all sorts of pictures with him.
We then left for my Bro's graduation held at the military school itself, where he gave us a tour. Though my brother is not an officer, many mistook him for one and kept saluting, something Nick(bro) wasn't quick to correct. :D
The school was fascinating with several faux news rooms that never the less had real equipment. It'll most likely be the closest I'll ever get to being inside a real studio.
They pinned on his new badge and offered him his diploma, and we were given a treat by watching some of his projects while he was there. After all of this, Nick took us to a dinner theater---the Medieval Times in Baltimore--- which was such fun! We were color coded and given a knight of the same color, and while all the other knights for other sections held up their heads, trying to look regal as they passed us, our knight was a huge ham. He kept winking and smiling at us which gained him quite a few fan girls from a group of middle schoolers.
When we left Saturday morning, we visited Gettysburg and walked through the museum. We wanted to take a tour of the battlefield but didn't have time. I was however, very excited to see the Gettysburg Cyclorama which was absolutely amazing! 40 feet high and 370ft long oil painting.
All in all it was a lot of fun. :D Though I'm super tired and glad to be home.
