Graduation Week

I've been putting off this post because I have so many photos and so few words but here goes!   We spent a week in Boston celebrating College Girl back in May.

We drove up and went straight to her first ceremony for her individual college.

Celebrating her first graduation of the week!  We actually got to hear her name and see her walk across the stage to accept her diploma.

We hit up the hospitality hub after the ceremony with the other families.  There were tasty refreshments and lots of fun photo ops.

Walking home with our grad.  I had to get some of those beautiful flowering trees in the shot.

We changed into comfy clothes and met up with her for dinner in our hotel.

We got up early and went on campus to take some of her graduation photos.

We walked around campus, finding all of the prime photo spots.

More pretty flowers!

Heading to a reception for her major.

Stopping at the hub for more photos.

   We had brunch at Tatte one day.

Took selfies in a restaurant bathroom mirror.

We had dinner in Seaport when City Girl got into town.

Dinner at Lolita.  Always a treat!

The whole class graduation was held at Fenway Park.

Proud parents!

Waiting for the graduates to file in. I was pretty impressed that my toenails matched my dress so well.

Here they come!

At one point in the ceremony we all flipped over cards on our seats to send this message to the grads. It was so cool. (*not my photo)

A family photo before heading to dinner and home the next day. What a bittersweet and whirlwind of a week!

{Travel} Springtime Boston Visit

I'm still catching up on my blog posts, do we still even want them? Well I do so  here goes. We had a trip to Boston to visit College Girl back in April.

It started with a latte from Tatte. See what I did there?

These have become my favorite jeans and I wear them constantly.

A view from the hotel.

We went the week before Easter because the Boston Marathon was the following weekend and hotel rooms were crazy expensive and hard to get.

Dinner the first night was at Joe's on Newbury.  It was a fun place. We walked around town afterwards. It was so nice being in Boston in the springtime!

The next morning we picked her up at her apartment and went to our favorite bagel place (Pavement) for some fuel. It was going to be a busy day.

We headed to campus because she was giving Welcome Day tours to incoming freshman.   I liked seeing the flag of the Ukraine flying with our flag.  We had some time to wait before her tour so we hung out in this cool umbrella tent for awhile and by the fire pits around campus.

We hopped on her tour and it was fun taking the tour again, we haven't done it in four years and now we had the best tour guide.  I'm glad we got to see the inside of this amazing ISEC building.

Walking around town and seeing all of the new spring flowers.   We took her shopping and on some excursions for her final assignment.   (She needed photos at places that were easier to drive to.)  We even saw a little snow!

Dinner that night was at a tapas place called Dali in Somerville.

I'm so glad we tried it.  We won't have many more trips to Boston, so we are trying to fit in as much as we can.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was so cool. It looked like a great place for a big group celebration.

 The sangria was also tasty!

The next morning we went to Veggie Galaxy in Cambridge. Another fave! We hadn't been inside the restaurant in two years. So good to be back!

We found this cool tunnel full of graffiti so of course we had to take some pics.

Always up for a mini photo shoot!

Back To Boston {The Last College Drop Off?!}

 We took College Girl back to Boston for her final semester. It doesn't seem possible!

It was the coldest weekend up there but we made the best of it.

We started off with coffee to warm us up when we arrived. I had a peppermint mocha. 

I bundled up to go out to dinner.

The restaurant, Piattini was warm and cozy.

Cheers!

My morning view from the hotel.

Bruch at Pressed Cafe.

Walking around town--it was pretty empty because of the frigid temps.

We stopped in at Uniqlo because I needed some heat tech leggings.  I love this staircase in the store. 

We took her shopping and had lunch at a yakitori restaurant.

We had a casual dinner at one of our favorite bars.

Freezing parents walking back to our hotel.  #parentsicles

The next morning we had breakfast together and then headed home.  Final semester here we go!
