Momma Simpson meets Boston, at last!

Finally, after months of anticipation, my mom arrived in Boston, late this past Friday evening. So many weeks of planning and excitement, it was wonderful to get to see her after being away from Texas for almost four months. Because her birthday was just a week or so prior to her trip, we took the opportunity to celebrate her birthday on her first evening in Boston, with an appetizing meal of Coast Cafe soul food and a flower cupcake.

My roommate, Catie, also celebrated with us and helped to make Happy Birthday a bit louder, as well as make the cupcake disappear more quickly. My mom was extremely happy to finally meet her, too. The birthday celebration was complete!



The next day we took off to Provincetown (see following post), and then spent the next two days seeing Boston. We walked the Freedom Trail, explored Boston, both south and downtown, as well as the Cambridge area. It was wonderful having my mom so close, which made it all the more difficult to say goodbye...A weekend I will never forget, thank you momma for an amazing visit!
