Friday was a fun day. We took the bus out to find Pluto in the community solar system. They got their rubbing and where very happy.
Then back in Boston at the harbor we took a harbor tour to Spectacle Island and *** Island. Spectacle Island use to be a garbage dump. They sealed it off and used the dirt from the I-93 "Big Dig" in Boston to cap it off and return the island to a more natural state. From the top you can get a really great picture of Boston across the Harbor. The kids and Josie even did a little wading in the harbor water at the beach. Swimming didn't open for another week so ankle deep is all they could do.
Georges Island is an old fort. Lots of fun discovering old passages to rooms deep within the structure. We missed our intended ferry off the island and ended up having to wait an hour for the last one of the night. It was kind of nice to relax and just sit for a while.
Once back in Boston we got to eat dinner at the famous Boston Legal Seafood Restaurant. Fresh seafood is really good.
Then after dinner we went and found Uranus and Jupiter, the last two planets we didn't have yet, that where still available. Saturn and Neptune had been returned to the Museum as the building they where in are under construction.
Finally, we had seen everything we came to see and found enough stuff that we couldn't do to spend another week.
