This past weekend we made the trip from Beijing to New York to see our oldest Son Matt graduate from the Masters program at Christies (you know the famous auction house). Well it was definitely an event that we couldn't miss!
I'll keep the text brief because we wanted to share a few pictures, and as they say a picture is worth a thousand words!
Here's the proud graduate the night before the ceremony standing in front of Christies
Graduation! You can see the delight and relief as he accepts the "sheep skin"
The proud parents (I know, I look like a priest, but it's actually a traditional Mandarin style Tux; what are you doing looking at me anyway check out that dress!)
The proud parents with the new graduate
The whole cast of supporters
So what do you do to fill the time while waiting for the ceremony? Well site see off course!
The Letterman Show was right around the corner from our hotel and this was taken from the balcony of the bar on the pent house level
Matt and I in the subway
A cool looking cathedral we passed while taking a cab ride
After the ceremony we returned to the hotel to find out it was Salsa Night, and this young lady was more than happy to try to teach "the priest" how to dance
The bartenders did their part to keep us entertained too
From here Lightnin headed back to Cincy and I boarded a plane back to "The Jing". I think I spent as much time in the air as I did on the ground, but I wouldn't have missed it in the world!
Congratulations Matt!
