We stayed at a relatively upscale hotel just on the edge of Boston Common and Chinatown. For the record, I was really hoping that I would see the Fung Wah Bus station in Chinatown, but I kept forgetting that the busses go to South Station because of congestion.
Let's see. We went to the Museum of Science, which was really great. I was concerned at first because the first exhibit we walked into was literally identical to one at the New York Hall of Science. Luckily, the similarities stopped there. It took us about three hours to get halfway through the museum. It's really funny because when you're a kid, you just want to run around and play with stuff, but when you get older, you actually learn things!
We took the T all over the place, which was great, because if you know me, you know that I love anything that relates to travel/transportation.
And then, the awesome part, was that I got to visit Jesse, Jon, and jAndrew! I went over to Jesse's house because he gratefully offered to watch over my fishies this summer. I keep getting distracted because three people are texting me and two facebook im all at once. Anyway, I drove over to Jesse's house. That was okay. I got stuck in some Boston traffic, which was to be expected. To my surprise, the Massholes aren't *that* terrible at driving, they're just all over the road.
So, I went to Jesse's house, where Jon and Andrew eventually came over. We then decided to go crash through Alaina's life, and went to visit her. Turns out she has a pool, and inflatable rafts and things. So, that provided some entertainment! Even though Jesse was the only one who actually submerged himself in the water. Anyway, we then went to DQ, because DQ is awesome, and I haven't had a Blizzard since last August.
Luckily, I survived another trip in that metal cage that Andrew calls a "car." After hanging out, and catching up for several more hours, it was 9:15, and I decided that I wanted to get back to the hotel, since it was about a 35 minute drive. I don't mind driving at night. I find it easier to navigate because I can know where a car is by tracking its lights. Anyway, I opened the sunroof, got on the highway, and blasted music. Because, well, I don't get to do that often, it helps me stay alert, and it was fun! Hahaha. Until out of nowhere, the sky opened up, and the rain came pouring down. Visibility was turrible.
Got back to the hotel, Valet'd the car, and then decided I was still hungry. It was about 10:10PM. Well, it was then that I discovered that Boston doesn't really have any night life...No food anywhere. I ended up getting McDonalds, which was of course a really bad idea because it aggravated the heck out of my stomach. But it was okay, because the best part about going to a hotel is taking all the toiletries.
Anyway, I was pretty exhausted last night, and went to sleep relatively early. At 1. This morning, I woke up at about 8ish, but probably didn't get out of bed until 830. I was gonna go ge breakfast, but my dad convinced me to accompany him to the gym and then we would get something to eat afterwards. Well, I went to the gym (which is actually a really nice legit sports club), but didn't really actually work out. (I did some rowing, but thats cause it was fun).
We then wandered into the basketball court (which was actually 1.5 courts), and I ended up shooting hoops with my dad for a good 45 minutes or so. It turns out, I'm actually better than I thought at Basketball. (But I'm still pretty bad). So that was good. We ate. and then checked out. We drove over to Cambridge, and walked around Harvard. We parked at the library, even though we weren't supposed to leave the premises. But oh well. We looked at the books. They were pretty.
Wow. Okay, this was an exceedingly long post. As a consolation prize, here are some pictures.
