Kid's Museum; Boston Science Museum; Dante's

We stayed at an hotel in Burlington right beside Nuance (where I used to work). We had a two bedrooms, one living, one kitchen, two bathrooms for about $300 for two nights. The kids slept in one room, us in the other.

Boston Kid's Museum

Back in downtown Boston we went to the Kid's Museum. We had a fantastic time. At the museum there's a tree in the middle of the place that spans about forty feet high. Here's Mathieu climbing it.

Here are a few more pictures of the kids at the museum...

Like the Montreal Science Museum, but 5 times bigger

Mathieu with Boston Downtown Skyline

Mathieu was mostly with me, hence the reason there are a lot of pictures of him.

Japanese House

Inside the Kid's Museum there's a real 100 year old Japanese house that was imported from Japan. Very nice. The kids were shown how to make Samurai hats with real Japanese newspapers.

Faneuil Hall

We took a quick walk to Faneuil Hall for lunch. Big hot dogs. They tasted delicious but too big for the kids. Suzanne had a pizza that was borrowed by Mathieu. Now we know what HE likes.

Boston Science Museum
Ah the Boston Science Museum. I went there first with my mom (and sister and brother) and we still go there almost every time we go to Boston. We are in fact members of the Museum and that $100 yearly pass as brought us a lot of free pleasure pretty much everywhere in Montreal and Ottawa. We saw a fantastic show at the Charles Hayden Planetarium called "Undiscovered Worlds: The Search Beyond our Sun", we saw a great light and electricity show as well as an iMax movie: To the Arctic. And the exhibits are out of this world:
