The mother-and-son duo shared a wealth of experiences traveling through England, France and Italy, including walking the runway at African Fashion Week, dining etiquette lessons, and skeet shooting.
While Bowman, 69, enjoyed the margherita pizza in Europe, she detested the small food portions she received when her son treated her to cuisine from restaurants that had two Michelin stars.
“There wasn’t enough food on the spoon for my mother to be happy,” Anderson explains. “She went to her room and ordered room service.”
“I don’t like oysters and snails,” Bowman chimes in.

But, the most challenging part of their trip, according to Anderson, was trying to keep his mother off “all the young men” while they walked around town.
“That was the embarrassing part,” he jokes. “It was like, ‘All right, you tough guys, I’m not going to call you ‘Dad,’ but that’s my mom!’ … My mom’s a big freak, so watch yourself.”
He later quips: “[She ogled men] in every city.”
While Anderson was recognized for his work during the trip, Bowman still made it a point to tell people who her son was.
