Proud Big Sister

I've said it here before but I'll say it again, I'm pretty proud of my little brother. 

I never imagined we would live so far apart from each other but I'm so glad he lives where he does.

{He goes to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland} 

Going to the Academy has opened up his world to some pretty incredible life experiences and last week was one of those. He was chosen out of many students at the Academy who applied to go on this trip to Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the Middle East.

Like I said, proud big sister. He is incredibly smart.

While I don't know a lot of the stories behind these pictures from his trip, I thought I would share them {especially for family} who may not have Facebook

This was his tour guide, also known as "the man". 

Basically they became best friends.

the caption he had with this picture was "I breathe fire" - he's goofy 

They got to ride camels in the desert and this was his "pet camel named Ted".

Looks like an incredible experience to me and I'm so glad he got to go.

Can't wait to hear all about it when he comes home next week!

Wish I could have fit in his suitcase for this one ;)
