A day in Boston

Boy, oh boy, there were a lot of kids at the Science Museum in Boston. It was still pretty cool though, we saw the original (3-story!!!) van der Graaf generator and a pretty cool lightning show (some pictures are included).




Afterwards, we went to the Samuel Adams brewery for a free tour and beer tasting, which was pretty decent. Got a sample glass, too, and some quart-sized bottles of Sam Adams to take back home.

Finally, we hit up the Harpoon brewery in the Waterside District (or some such). Picked up 2 growlers (Harpoon Winter Warmer and Cider) and a case of UFO, one of my favorite beers.



For supper, I convinced my dad to go to the Cheesecake Factory (mostly because I wanted to get that 'Big Bang Theory' vibe). What a great place, a little pricey, but the portions are huge and the food is tasty.

Tomorrow, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Harvard campus (it was something like -25C here with the windchill today, which meant we weren't walking about anywhere), refilling a growler back at the Harpoon brewery and likely a local homebrew shop (I'm looking for some cheap kegs).

Anyways, off to bed, I'm going to read some more of my newest book, "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!". I'm something like 4 pages in and hooked already.
