Family ready for Graduation ceremony

Happy Family

The Advisors

It was a fun filled day. The weather was perfect and blossoms everywhere. I was worried about the traffic and the crowd but it turned out to be just fine. The graduation ceremony was just for the masters and Doctorate graduates and may be that's why it was not too crowded.

We walked around the beautiful Ann Arbor and showed Chris around. Had lunch at Zingerman's ( again). In fact we packed the take out and took turns eating it outside the graduation hall because I was worried we will not get good seats. We got there on time and managed to sit almost in the front and saw our dear graduate getting hooded and walk on the stage. It was a proud moment for all of us.

Karolina took lots of pictures of Anupam and rest of the family so I have no pictures of her in my camera :(

I finally met his advisor ( after 5 years). Anupam , Karolina and his lab mates arranged a picnic dinner with parents, advisors and friends. It was wonderful. Everyone brought food, some parents barbequed and everyone enjoyed themselves. At this time of the year, Ann Arbor is full of flowers and new leaves.

We came back exhausted, sat in the hot tub ( too hot) and planed for the big day tomorrow. I will tell you about that tomorrow. Good night for now.
