Day 8: Boston Museum of Science

We woke up relatively late and went to have breakfast at the hotel's restaurant. The food tasted nice, for a change. After that it was time to go to our main destination, the Boston Museum of Science to renew our membership and do some visiting.

No need to cross the street -- Suzanne's secret passage, 8:55am

We got tickets to go see an iMax show but beforehand went through some of the exhibits.

Real size capsule. 9:09am

One of the halls. 9:20am

I want a globe like that but a bit smaller. 9:47am

Ditto for that moon. 11:58am

Next we went to see the excellent Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit, with real artifacts and scrolls we couldn't unfortunately photograph. Still quite cool. Mathieu got bored quickly so I went to try a simulator with him while the girls continued in the exhibit.

Really Cool. 10:01am

Artefacts 10:15am 

I just love this tub. 10:20am

Afterwards we went to see the excellent Rocky Mountain Express iMax film depicted the story on how Canada was precariously built by linking British Columbia to the other provinces with a train line. What these men accomplished was nothing short of Herculean.

Great movie. 11:53pm

We went through a few exhibits afterwards before going for lunch...

Boston's famous Duck Tours. 10:45am 

Smile for the flash.. 12:01pm 

Wouldn't like to meet this puppy in the forest... 12:18pm

Then it was time for lunch which we did at the mall that's connected to our hotel. Then it was time for some good ole shopping.

Eating some good Mexican food. Sabrina studying our next event... 1:07pm

The nice thing about having the mall beside us is that we didn't have to drive an hour to go to an outlet. After the shopping it was time to prepare for our meal at Anthony's Pier 4. We walked around downtown before our meal.

The Institute of Comtemporary Art. 4:51pm 

Need a boat to go home... 5:08pm

Boston  5:12pm

Legal Sea Food -- Used to be the best fish restaurant but has been McDonaldlized  5:26pm

The food was ok to good, but the experience interesting as this is one very old restaurant where you can see 100s of pictures of stars with the owner. Some sort of landmark. We had a real nice time.

Anthony's  6:34pm
