A poignant part of our ASU tour was an inside look of the athletic department......
Displayed near the team locker rooms was this wonderful tribute to the famous football player Pat Tillman, (1975-2004), who lost his life fighting for our country.
Players enter the Red Devil Stadium through the Tillman Tunnel......
It was pretty dramatic strolling this dark long hallway.....
And entering the sun filled football field.....
Being with young folks means eating often.......and since Pizza is one of my favorite foods......we headed to Oregano.....a ASU favorite. I don't think there are many young, single guys reading this blog.....but if so......sorry, both these gals are spoken for (Lizzie, the graduate (left) Jenna (right).
I loved the unexpected art in Lizzie's apartment which belonged to her roommate Jae.
This was the first year ASU split the graduation ceremonies......dividing the undergrads and the graduate students. A good thing since there were over 2,000 receiving their doctoral and master degrees. We were quite a distance from the action.....but with my zoom lens I was quick enough to get this photo of an engineering student who replaced his 'cap' with a hard hat. Several other students had cleverly personalized their caps with special messages.It doesn't get any better than creating and reliving memories with family. Sadly, with everyone's lives so busy, it often requires some reminding or even nagging for all of us to take the time to schedule these kinds of events but we are sure glad we did!
