Last weekend, most of my family went out to San Diego to see my brother Colin graduate from the Marine Reconnaissance Training Company. This was a huge honor (for Colin to be selected for this program) and also a huge accomplishment (as only about 50% of Marines who enter this program pass) and we are so proud of him! If you want to get an idea of some of the things he was doing over the past 12 weeks you can watch the video below, it is no joke!

I am so proud of my little brother, love you buddy!
After graduation, we went to lunch at one of Colin's favorite pizza places to celebrate!
That afternoon, we went to Coronado which is a small island off the coast of San Diego. Coronado is where Colin did Phase II of his training. We also decided we had to check out the infamous Hotel del Coronado which was beautiful!
So happy to be together again!
beautiful Birds of Paradise flowers everywhere
perfect sunset after a perfect day :)
On Saturday we spent the day at the beach. It was a great time to laugh and relax.
That night we went to celebrate at Cannon's Seafood Grill which has been recognized multiple times by The Knot as one of the best venues in the area! Congrats Colin!!!
And the night would not have been complete without a trip to Colin's favorite bar: Goody's Tavern, cheers!
On Sunday we went to Balboa Park in San Diego

The rest of the trip was spent relaxing in La Jolla. Such a fun weekend and so proud of Colin!
