I arrived off a red-eye early Friday and headed to Jamaica Plain to see Erikka. She graciously let me pass out for few hours, then we hit up Centre St Cafe and poked around a few local shops where Erikka found this awesome number and made me try on
It was a nice day so we hung around on her porch
and pet the neighbors cat, it took like 6 photos to finally get it to look up (see Erikka clutching at it's tail to make it stay)
Then Jason got out early and we went to Doyle's Cafe where apparently they filmed part of Mystic River. It was pretty chill, good sweet potato fries!
From there I headed to Kingston Station to surprise Sandy for her b-day plans. I was greeted with a flying attack hug and enjoyed sipping on some lovely cocktails involving ginger beer.
a little blurry, but you get the picture
On Saturday we headed up to NH for the big parental surprise and Sandy's b-day celebration. Check out the leaning tower of cupcakes my mom made!
awesome!
Really, my dad was thrilled to see me :)
Ok, this picture is too cute not to include
and these too...
i'm being smothered! eek!
That evening Greg hosted a Zombie Jesus Party in the absence of his parents! Lucky me! Here's some pictures of that fun
Ok, I wasn't drunk, I just make really BAD faces sometimes
i like the background action with James in focus in this picture
Next was Easter Sunday. My mom dyed some eggs, I liked how they turned out all speckled even if they weren't supposed to
We took some silly family photos, because it's fun
Then of course I had to play cribbage with my dad, see
Monday I spent back down in Boston, hung out with Gary who showed me the new graffiti by Central Kitchen
Then, before I departed for the airport I got to see Raea and her new apartment in Arlington! We also made a quick stop for some delicious pastries at the Arlington Bakery (I think that's the name). I was lame and didn't snap a photo of Raea, but I do have one of this handsome devil, Charlie
Sigh, it's nice to go home :)
