He did it!  My little brother graduated from Mississippi College Law School!  We packed up the Rogue and headed out on a 10-hour car ride to Jackson.  It was Juliette's first trip out of Florida!  The way there she did great!  She slept almost the whole way.  When she wasn't sleeping she was glued to the tablet watching her Baby Einstein videos.  Once we got into Jackson, we checked into the Cabot Lodge, home of a great complimentary hot breakfast and FREE happy hour adult beverages in the evenings!  Chris and a group of his fellow classmates rented out a cool jazz bar in Downtown Jackson the night before graduation. Yes, we were "those" people that brought a baby to a bar!  The next morning was the actual graduation at First Baptist Church Jackson.  Talk about a HUGE church!  

This was Juliette's first time meeting her Uncle Chris and her Uncle Matt.  I think they both liked her (Who am I kidding?  She's the cutest thing ever...how could you not like her?).
After graduation, we went to the Mississippi Craft Center where artists from all over Mississippi come to sell their goods.  There even was an uber scary hand made baby doll for sale...for $325!   The beautiful baskets are handmade by the local Choctaw Tribe.  They are absolutely beautiful! (I would have loved to buy one, but they were a bit out of my price range! The small baskets (think 5 inches in diameter) started at $80!
We did buy a few things from one of their artists named Elaine Peterson.  Elaine paints intricate objects on gorgeous feathers such as peacock, turkey, duck and more that she collects (from cruelty-free sources!). Here she is starting on one of her designs along with some of the finished products!  Definitely one of the coolest crafts I've ever seen!  Check out her blog (http://feathermore.blogspot.com/) to see some more cool feathers that she has painted.
The next day we headed out to visit the Mississippi Agricultural & Forestry Museum.  For a nominal entry fee of $5, you get to see all kinds of neat things! And we sure do love a good agricultural museum (especially since our first anniversary is coming up...we got married at the Florida Agricultural Museum...which is one of our favorite places!).
Then it was time to pack Chris' apartment up.  It's hard to believe his three years of law school are already over and done.  It seems like yesterday when we were dropping him off...

Here we are in 2010...

It's the start of a new adventure for Chris...he now gets to study for the Kentucky Bar Exam.  Good luck Chris!  We know you will do great things!
