This weekend we were all in Boston for John's graduation from Tufts. On Friday night John and his girlfriend Troy started educating Brad and me in the art of appreciating craft beers. Lifelong learners that we are, we studied hard.
In all seriousness, it was a great kickoff to the weekend.
Peter and Mary arrived on Saturday morning after taking an overnight train (Peter) and a redeye flight (Mary). Looking no worse for the wear, here they are with Brad in front of John's house before we all walked over to Baccalaureate on Saturday afternoon.

Here's our entire group after Baccalaureate. The weather all weekend was absolutely glorious. Sun and temperatures in the 70s.
Graduation was on Sunday morning. This is John and his friends getting ready to process in.

Everyone pulled up a piece of cardboard to enjoy a picnic on the lawn after graduation.
We are all very proud of our graduate.
On the way take Mary to the airport on Sunday evening, we stopped at one of John's favorite BBQ restaurants for dinner and another lesson in the art of drinking craft beers. (Or, if you're Mary, craft root beer.)
On Monday morning John (next to one of the many campus likenesses of Tufts' mascot Jumbo the Elephant) picked up his diploma. It was a happy way to end a happy weekend.
So I see John also got a haircut before graduation! Looks like a great weekend and what a great accomplishment!!
