I’ve always scoffed at the “tradition” of holding graduation for any students before the end of high school – until I saw Abby’s kindergarten graduation. She learned how to read in kindergarten. I couldn’t read as well as she does until I was well into elementary school.
I went out to Knoop Park to try and get some pics of the highly touted super moon. I was half expecting to be disappointed, but the moon was pretty spectacular rising over the modest Little Rock skyline. I got a couple so-so photos of it.
We scored a rare free weekend and flipped a coin to decide whether to go to Memphis! or take Daisy out for the first camping trip of 2012. Memphis! won out after a two-out-of-three flip session. In eastern Arkansas we came upon a double rainbow that just wouldn’t go away. After about 15 minutes of driving with it right outside the window we decided to pull over and partake of its glory.
On our final full day in San Antone I got up at the butt crack of dawn to shoot the Alamo when it wouldn’t be swarmed with tourists and vendors hawking to the tourists. It was pretty neat being the only person visiting the Alamo besides the grounds crew blowing off the walkway with super loud industrial strength leaf blowers.
