Chris's Graduation

Christopher Leon (Sarah's significant other) graduated from UCSB with honors in Mechanical Engineering. Jenny offered to stay home with the boys while Glen and I drove up to UCSB to help celebrate.



Here's Chris, in line to take his turn marching across the stage.

Chris and several other students worked on this project. It's an Engineers Without Borders project to help ensure potable water in less accessible areas. Chris later went to a small town in Peru to help implement the project. Their display board was hung on the wall in the engineering building because it was chosen for 'Best Technical Presentation' in his class.




On our way to dinner, we saw this sign. Gas prices are always high in the Santa Barbara area, but this seemed notable.




Oscar invited us to join the family for a celebratory dinner at ???.




I'm told this is a subset of the extended family. They are a very supportive and friendly group.




After dinner, we walked over to the Santa Barbara Pier.









Chris's cousin Matthias was the sole representative of the younger set.
