We had a wonderful visit with Ryan, Julia and Emmett Roehling in Rhode Island this past weekend. Michael graduated with his Master of Arts in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College and we combined that with the visit to Julia. Emmett is the best toddler! Charming and a little gentleman. He has a great pony named Tinker and a pony-sized dog named Titan, who is not so friendly. The pony enjoyed beer in the garden with the adults, the dog did not! Mike received his diploma from Admiral Greenert, Chief of Naval Operations which was an honor and he was presented with a "coin" for graduating with Distinction. A reception followed at the CO's home which had the most beautiful view of the water in front of the Naval War College. We sampled the local lobsters with Doug, Ryan and Julia and walked the cliff walk in front of the famous Newport mansions, notably The Breakers. Unimaginable wealth around here! Fun for me was watching Julia play polo with her team on Friday. She is very good and Ryan winces each time she knocks over the retired admirals or whatever on the Naval War College team, for whom she plays! She grins! It was a great weekend.
