Yesterday we went to the Museum of Science. We spent the whole day there...or at least the whole day considering the trip to and from as well. To start, we had the enjoyment of sitting in Boston traffic as we went to the Museum (That was a treat! We spent at least 45 minutes in traffic within a half mile of the museum! And of course, we had the treat of dealing with oh so considerate folks in other cars who got so close to our vehicle as they tried to squeeze by us and advance those precious few feet they clipped our side mirror of the van!)
BUT we did finally make it and then spent the next 8+ hours wandering around, looking at exhibits and eating lunch so that we could make it to the Harry Potter Exhibit which was showing and that we had tickets for at 6pm.
(Side note: neither Kristen nor I have read any of the Harry Potter books and neither of us have seen even one of the movies...so we had no idea what we were in for.)
We had a great day wandering around and finally we were headed over to see the special exhibit. I spent extra money for a set of earphones that tells you about the exhibit as you type in the numbers associated with the particular artifacts...and away we went.
Boy were we BORED! There really was NO fascination in looking at this stuff (beds, clothes, etc) since we had no idea what we were even looking at...
Then, as we started ushering the kids further along...we got to "the dark side" where they were exhibiting pieces, and characters that were Harry's enemies in various movies (I think). WOW! It was very dark and scary kind of stuff and we basically covered the kids eyes and walked through the remainder of the exhibit, to the chagrin of Jaden. Live and learn, I suppose.
Anyway, here are a few pictures of the day:
