Michelle's Graduation from Framingham State University

We spent a long weekend in the Boston area to attend Michelle's Graduation ceremony. She received her "Masters" degree in "Science in Coordinated Program in Dietetics".  The commencement for the graduate students was on Sunday morning, May 18th.  The weather was perfect.  The ceremony was held in the Town Square of Framingham.  There were about 250 Master graduates in all, fourteen of them were in the same program with Michelle.  After the graduation, there was a reception in FSU campus . 

In  the evening, we had an excellent dinner at the Royal India Bistro in Lexington, MA with Bo (Michelle's friend from high school) joining us.  Congrats Michelle!. We are very proud of YOU!

 

Congratulations on your great accomplishment!.

On Friday before the graduation, we toured the area around Harvard  including the Harvard Museum of Natural History.  We also did a Ghost Tour' around Harvard Square in the evening. It was Mother's Day gift from Michelle which we enjoyed very much.  Thank you, Michelle!.

We always enjoy hiking up to Prospect Hill Park.  It's one of Michelle's and Seth's favorite running paths.  It has a great view of Boston from the top of the hill.  There are also lot of wild orchids in bloom this time of the year.

Plymouth (Plimoth) Plantation, Plymouth Rock, and a replica of the Mayflower were important pieces of US history that we're glad to see.

The morning before we left, we visited Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House in Concord.  She is the author of 'Little Women'.
