First to the Museum of Science to (primarily) see the exhibit about life in Pompeii. If you have a chance to see it, please do. The body casts were unreal. It was solemn viewing the casts, and I couldn't help but thing about those who have been killed in more recent natural disasters (Haiti, the Thailand tsunami, and the Japan earthquake immediately came to mind).
The MOS also had a great display about nanotechnology in medicine, which Ben really enjoyed. The most shocking display that Ben enjoyed was the math-in-science display. For as much as he says he doesn't like math, I think he be fibbin' (newsflash: still working through Math-U-See and we're still free of tears!).
A few days later, we went to see the USS Constitution. And -- who knew! -- we visited on Old Ironsides' birthday! She went out for a Boston Harbor cruise in the morning, had a post-lunch rest time, but we were able to board her and ask the crew questions:
Ben is giving Levi a test to see if he has what it takes to be a Navy man.
See that beautiful pink scarf around my neck? My sweet consignment shop find: $13 for a 100% pashmina wool scarf of gargantuan size. I plan on wearing it nearly every day in the winter, because it keeps my neck warm and therefore makes me happy inside.
