Waaay back at the end of July, my brother-in-law, PD, graduated from the prestigious Navy Nuclear Power School!  John was in the middle of a school of his own, but he was lucky enough to be able to miss a day so we could visit Charleston for the weekend and attend the celebration. We went together with some other family members and friends to rent a beach house for the weekend’s festivities. It was super fun.

HAPPY DAY!
PD was obviously VERY happy to make it to graduation day!

Family Portrait
Allan + Tanna and family happened to be vacationing for the week nearby (Isle of Palms), so we drove over to visit for a bit!

Walking Around Charleston
We walked around downtown Charleston with Dennis and Sharon for a while until it started raining!

Steak
We had dinner at 82 Queen in Downtown Charleston. This steak was just one of the MANY amazing things there. The She-Crab soup was a.ma.zing.

There are more pictures of the weekend here.
