Dress4Less 162 Posted May 11, 2015 This past weekend our son graduated from Northern Arizona University - NAU (College of Business) and also received his commissioning into the USAF as an Officer 2nd Lt. Here are a few pics from the weekend's activities. Picture quality disclaimer..."Pics are not of PMB's quality!" Inside the Sky Dome at NAU for graduation After receiving his diploma Outside the Sky Dome next to Louie the Lumberjack What kind of car is this? It had Nissan markings but, no name/model? After graduation our son had to pick up a buddies FZ8, put it into storage and have it shipped to his buddy who previously was commissioned into the Navy and is stationed at Pendelton. Nice bike! That's Brett's CRF450 in the background. Got back to the hotel to change for dinner...looked out the window and saw 4 adventures bikes... turns out they were all from Canada! Never got a chance to talk with the riders but, snapped a couple of pics of the bikes. 1 KTM Adventure R and 3 BMW 800 GS's. The next day was his commissioning ceremony. Here was his introduction Holding his commissioning papers Family shot Our son and daughter "haming it up" Sunday for Mother's Day the kids treating to a tour of the Riordan House on campus at NAU...lots of history and a VERY cool place if you ever get the chance to visit Great weekend for sure!
