I'm starting to really love professional days at school. With Steve home, it is a perfect way to do something together as a family that brings us closer. I keep thinking that one of the these days Angus or Declan will decide that they don't want to do these things together, but they keep surprising me. Last professional day we went into Boston and enjoyed the Museum of Science that was nearly empty. This time we headed back into Boston to play at the Aquarium.
Isaiah enjoyed the penguins, sea turtles, and jelly fish the most. I presume it is because they were so easy to see and didn't move all that quickly. Spent most of his time pointing out the wonders of the sea to us.
I have to give my thumbs up on making these visits to very popular activities. By going in the middle of the week we miss the usual vacationing or weekend crowds that keep us far from the exhibits.
And I have finally decided to become more organized and start utilizing the free or discounted passes at the library for these types of things. We have a yearly membership at the Museum of Science, but our recent outing to the deCordova was free and the Aquarium was a greatly reduced price, which makes the $35 parking more palatable. Thank you Friends of the Gleason Public Library!
After the aquarium, we walked over to Quincy Market for lunch. Not my favorite place to eat or hang out, but I thought it would be a nice treat for Angus and Declan. Poor Angus still struggles with public shyness and had a very difficult time deciding on something to eat and actually ordering it for himself. But he did it. :)
