Episode CLIX: Dr. Mom, Ph.D.

The Norris Family recently returned to Boston to celebrate Meg's Ph.D. conferral!

 First was the flight from DFW to BOS. Elliot is now officially a pro at flying. Here we are just hanging out on the plane.

We met Meg's parents at the Boston airport and then we all stayed in an Airbnb up in Malden, which was a quick subway ride away from Harvard Square.

Here's the whole gang posing beneath the iconic Harvard Biology Rhino.



And now the main event! Meg is at the podium receiving her degree in historic Sanders Theatre.



After the celebrations were over, we all went up to Maine to stay with Meg's parents. Here we are at Two Lights, Maine, enjoying some seafood and Elliot's first visit to the Atlantic Ocean.

Our trip to Boston clearly made Elliot a subway-riding pro. Here we are taking the subway back home from DFW airport. Look at how well he nonchalantly fits in with the train-going crowd.
