Boston - Day 4

BOSTON - DAY 4

Today we decided to sleep in before we moved to our new hotel instead of touring Fenway Park.  It was probably best - I'm sure we have plenty of fun ahead.

We first moved our luggage to our new home - the Hyatt Cambridge on the edge of the MIT campus.

Our room wasn't ready so we checked our luggage and took a shuttle to Harvard.





When we got to Harvard our first stop was at Mike's Pastries - famous for their cannolis.  We bought some desserts for lunch and then ate them on the way to the Harvard Natural History Museum.  We passed the Harvard Law area on the way - the campus was beautiful and the buildings were old and grand.  We also saw a turkey walking down the street.

Harvard Square

At the Natural History Museum we saw very precisely arranged and cataloged animals and minerals of all types.  We loved looking at the expressions on the faces of the animals and seeing new animals we didn't recognize.












After Harvard, we went to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) - on Bix's short list for colleges.  We ate lunch at the Miracle of Science - a pub near the MIT Museum.  The food was really good and it was a funky place with the menu on the walls in the form of a giant periodic table.






We all liked the MIT Museum - it had a couple of interactive exhibits for the kids - they built a balloon rocket and made electrical circuits to light up LED's.  Mom and dad liked the different robotics exhibits.






After the museum we went to check out the Gehry buildings - some funky shaped buildings on campus, we went to the co-op and then we headed home.


















We finished by going for a swim, eating dinner at the hotel, and watching Zoolander 2.
