It's hard to believe, but Derek's graduation from med school is less than 4 months away!!! The past 4 years have really flown by! Derek's graduation is on May 15th here in the DC area. I am SO very proud of him for all the hard work he has put in to get to this point, and I know all of our family and friends feel the same way! That's why we want to celebrate this special occasion with you. :) The more the merrier! We've already had some of you express interest in coming a few days early or staying a few days after graduation to visit with us and do some sight-seeing! We're REALLY excited about having everyone come to share in Derek's big day and to see our little life here in Northern Virginia! For those of you that are interested, here are some details and more information for you....
Click here for more information about Derek's commencement & promotion ceremony. He'll become a captain & a doctor all on the same day! :) We'll have to head into DC pretty early that morning for the ceremony to make sure we get good seats, and then we'll head back to Centreville that afternoon for a little par-tay in our neighborhood's clubhouse.
We have two great extended-stay hotels within a half-mile of our house (we're sorry, but our little two-bedroom condo won't accommodate everyone..ha!). We checked their prices for the weekend of Derek's graduation, and right now they're both about $75/night..not too bad! Also, both places have a little kitchenette in the room, which is a nice plus! Here are their websites:
--SpringHill Suites
--Extended Stay America
We're thinking about doing lots of fun, touristy things while people are in town. Here are some of the places we're thinking about going...but we're open to suggestions!!
--Hershey Park
--National Mall
--Mount Vernon
--Arlington National Cemetery
--Various museums
That's all the info/details that I can think to share with you for now, but I'm sure there will be more updates to come in the near future! Hope everyone is enjoying a nice three-day weekend! :)
