Dad Goes to Hogwarts with Gina

Gina is starting her sophomore year at Wellesley.  Our plans were to meet at Logan Airport, Gina flying in from Orlando, and me from Tampa, arriving within minutes of each other.  Throughout the week I was keeping an eye on Hurricane Earl, who was also heading up the eastern seacoast.  Fortunately, he stayed far enough off that we arrived in Boston to a beautiful sunny morning!

This is my combination tandoor platter.  About 3 meals here!

 To cap the day off, Gina, her roomie Ellen, and Becca went to Abbot's in Needham for some frozen custard!
