Lucie's cousin K graduated from West Point. We are all so proud of her! Grandmommie, Papa, Lucie and I drove up to West Point, taking several days and stopping to see friends along the way.
Our first stop was in North Carolina where we stayed with our very good friends P & M, and their two daughters. It was so great to see our friends, and the girls had such a good time playing together.
Our second night on the road we spent with K, one of my best friends from my senior year in high school and her family in Alexandria, Virginia. They have two beautiful children that Lucie loved playing with.
That night A, another best friend from 9th-11th grades in Virginia, came to visit with us and to meet Lucie.
The third day we arrived at our hotel on the beautiful Hudson River. Lucie's cousin who was graduating from West Point had other family up for the graduation too - her parents (my brother and sil) and brother flew up, as did her other grandparents. We all stayed at the same hotel. Lucie got sick the day we arrived, with a fever that went up to 105.8. We spent many hours at
the local ER. We never had a firm diagnosis, but think she had Roseola. It was a little scary having her temp go that high and not knowing what was going on. We were able to join in on some of the graduation activities, but mostly Lucie and I hung out in our hotel room.

On our drive back to Georgia we stopped in Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania where we lived when I was a senior in high school. This is the house we lived in. Many good times were had in this house!
