bos

just got back from boston.

we planned a wonderful surprise 60th birthday dinner for my dad.

i saw him standing there with his usual smirk, surrounded by his family. my uncles and aunts. cousins. cousin-ettes.

he was surprised when all his kids showed up. so cute!

overall a lovely weekend in massachusetts.*

i think my dad liked that we all made the trip out to spend time with him on his birthday. after years of traveling for work and missing his own birthday at home, we made an effort to be together for this one. and i'm glad we did. he is so worth it.

dim sum in chinatown's china pearl. shabu shabu.

and brunch at a japanese restaurant** before we headed out to the restaurant.

* sans the driving debacles. the streets of downtown boston were planned by madmen.

** my dad prefers asian cuisine, natch.
