My niece, Jorie, graduated from UC Berkeley! What an accomplishment! My family and I traveled to the Bay area for the weekend to attend her commencement and to celebrate her graduation.
On Friday we traveled to San Ramon to check into our hotel and meet up with family.
On Saturday morning we made the short drive to Berkeley to attend Jorie's commencement. Shay and my kids stayed back at the hotel and spent the day swimming. The commencement was great. The speeches were really good, especially the
key note speech from Facebook's COO, Sheryl Sandberg.

On Sunday, Heather hosted a dinner at her house to celebrate her smarty-pants daughter.
Monday called us back home. We can't wait to head back to Santa Rosa next month for another wonderful celebration!
