Just wanted to say that we are officially going to Duke for the Grand Recognition Ceremony- mainly to make up for her not going to the summer camp (sigh>>>), but also just for a fun family vacation. She's exited about missing the day of school (a monday), but gets to make it up for full credit. Was this a good idea? I mean, does it end up being like graduation or something, just really long and not much fun? (even if the ceremony is horrible, we'll have fun going to Trader Joe's, if any of you guys know what that is!) Any personal experience/ advice on how to dress (they don't say)?
