They were pretty cute back then, and they're still pretty cute now. They both grew up and went their separate ways. One stayed in the West, the other wanted to get as far away from home as humanly possible without leaving the U.S.
So she moved East.
And then she did something really cool.
She graduated from grad school.
That, folks, is my little sister wearing that funny hat. She's got a Master of Science in Genetic Counseling. It compliments her Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences.
Yes, she's kind of a brainiac. We love her for it and in spite of it.
We got to watch her get hooded.
It was fun, and long, and we were all very very hungry. But it was still worth it.
Her graduation also gave my family a great excuse to visit Boston, Massachusetts and do the touristy thing. And spend time with each other of course.
Because as a family, we're kind of close.
We wandered around.
Boston is a really cool mixture of old and new. They have a requirement that any historical building cannot be changed in any way, even if the business that goes into it is different. So you have these really beautiful old buildings surrounded by skyscrapers.
We walked. A lot.
And we went to Fenway.
Tyler really liked Fenway.
We missed the tour, but we went to this nice bar called the Bleacher Bar instead, that's situated underneath the outfield bleachers, and it has the nice view seen in the photo above where we sat and had a beer. Really, it was better than walking around in the hot sun listening to facts we didn't really care about it.
Unfortunately, Tyler and I didn't get to see a Red Sox game there, because they were playing in Philadelphia the weekend we were there. But everyone else got to go the following weekend. It was all right though.
We still had a really fun weekend.
Ciao,
kc
