Well, time for our somewhat last blog of the trip. Yesterday we had planned (key word being planned) to go to the Harvard Natural Science Museum, the JFK Museum, and then finally the Skywalk Observatory. Well we did 2 of the 3.
Getting up yesterday was somewhat tough. We were both exhausted, and wanting to sleep in. However, we got up about 9, and left the hotel about 10. We finally got to the Museum around 10:30 or so, and both of us were dragging. Yesterday was the first morning since we've been here that Clint did not get his coffee from Dunkin Doughnuts (we've become fans of this place), and I didn't get a Hot Chocolate w/ whipped cream. We did however have our doughnuts. And they were yummy. It seems to us that more people prefer the Dunkin Doughnuts over Starbucks. We easily fit in as locals if we were carrying a Dunkin Doughnut's cup of anything. I think Clint really really likes their coffee. There is literally a Dunkin Doughnuts on just about every corner, and inside most of the subway stations. This town is crazy for the Dunkin.
Anyways, the museum was fantastic (despite being tired). I do not believe that I've ever been inside a museum like this before. Being next to all the dinosaur skeletons that they had made me feel really tiny. I really liked the part where they had all the different types of species of animals. By the time we got through with the museum, both of us were extremely tired and hungry. We ate at this small like coffee house called the "Greenhouse Coffee Shop." Clint had another dose of Fish and Chips. And I enjoyed a nice Turkey Club. We sat there for a long time eating and chatting up about different things. Sitting was nice for a change.
After lunch we went back to the hotel room and relaxed. Neither one of us had the energy to go to the JFK Museum. I woke Clint up around 6 or so, and we headed to dinner in the Prudential Center (it's a mall/business building). After dinner we took the express elevator to the 50th floor, to the Skywalk Observatory. That was really fun. It was a 360 degree view of the city with an Audio Tour. When we would move to a new window, there would be a sign with a number above it. You would press the number into the audio player and listen to what "Buddy" (the tour guide) had to say. Usually you were looking for a specific building.
We got back to the hotel about 8:30, and went for one last swim in the pool. That was really nice, just relaxing and having a good time.
That was our day. We have enjoyed our time in Boston, and I assume that one day we will come back. There were lots of things that we wanted to do, but we just didn't have the time. Boston is full of History, and that's what we loved about this place. Everyone has been really nice to us, telling us where we should go and take a look at, or helping us get on the right subway.
I hope that everyone enjoyed reading out our trip. I know that we are looking forward to seeing everyone for Easter! Our plane leaves at 5:30 tonight, and we should arrive in KC about 9.
