Noah flew in a bit later, arriving in time to meet us for dinner at the Green Lantern, a regular hang out for Whitman students. Alicia flew in later that evening. We were all staying at an Air B&B near the campus with enough bedrooms for everyone (including Liz, Ashley and Varick, who would be joining us later). At Maddy's suggestion, we spent the day visiting some of the local wineries, including Sleight of Hand cellars, one of our favorites.

The Air B&B house we rented for the weekend
The patio at Sleight of Hand cellars. There was a Whitman student doing card tricks, which was fun.
Liz flew in on the 18th in time to join us for dinner. Ashley and Varick arrived the morning of the 19th.
The graduation ceremony was at 11:00. We arrived a little after 8 to claim seats, having experienced the craziness of a Whitman graduation three years earlier with Noah.

After the formalities, it was time to hang with family and friends. Lots of photo ops presented themselves.

Alison, Will and I drove back to Portland together; Maddy went with Liz. We stopped at Multnomah Falls on the way back. In Portland, Alison and I had the chance to have a quite dinner together at Verdigris, which is no longer Tripadvisor's number one restaurant in Portland, but still our favorite.
