Day 9: Going back home...

HBS to Home: 507 kms

Today's the day Suzanne goes to Harvard, and we go back home. We had breakfast at the Dunkin Donut in the mall (not great but why pay $30 for bagels). Next we went back to the Science Museum (note that it was 5 minutes walking distance from our hotel) to catch a show at the planeterium and to see more exhibits. The one on nano technology is quite fascinating.

That one was real. 11:16am 

I kept asking the kids to find fossils on the beaches of Gaspé 11:18am

Most exhibits are interactive and interesting even if you're just starting to read. 11:40am

After our visit we checked out of our hotel and went to have lunch at an excellent Italian restaurant in the mall ( relatively inexpensive and good ). Then it was time to drop Suzanne at Harvard. I unfortunately don't have any pictures because it happens so quickly.

The kids and I drove back home. We stopped in Burlington (near Boston) for a few things, then our next stop was in Burlington Vermont to have dinner at McDonald's.

McDonald's  6:51pm

Going through the border was interesting, the kids were questioned more then I was, to make sure that I was the real father and that I wasn't trying to kidnap them. Some would get offended, I personally appreciate the level of security my kids got. We came back home to an oven. The good news was that our fish had survived the hot week.

Seven fish alive. 8:21pm

Suzanne sent a few pictures of her room after her first day of studying.  Small but nice.
