ELDP Grad in DC

Back in June I got to go to DC for the graduation and inter-agency week of the ELDP program.  As DC is only 3 hours from my folks, I got to see them and meet my new niece as well.
 The last get together for the Squad 3 Amigos
 We got to go to the State Department
 much smaller than the DoD and with a very different mission
 out the window of their dining room
 with Sharon
 State Department Selfie
 then graduation at the Pentagon
 we four were the AF grads from the cohort
 a long way from our base
 our grad certificate
 visiting monuments with my battle buddy
 a great day for it
 then walking the Mall with more "Amigos"
 "Honest" Abe's memorial
 so our nephew was serving as an intern in DC, so I met up to take him to dinner in China Town
 it was pretty cool to be in China Town after having been to China and Hong Kong
 I got to introduce him to the joy of Peking Duck
 my youngest brother had his prom and graduation while I was there
 though his graduation was on the same day as mine at the Pentagon, I was able to be there for his prom and help take pictures
 he and his date
 his buds
 and I got to meet my new niece as she and my sister were visiting my parents
 I love when I get to see family when I travel
 so fun to see family
 beautiful ladies
 the view of the Pentagon from my hotel
 and of DC
 going out for excellent food
 Lebanese
 it was excellent
 yogurt
 fruit and cheese
 I got to go see Jurassic World with my brother
 gifts from my battle buddy and squad
 and back home with this cute little guy
rainbows in our neighborhood
