I can't imagine ever ending up in Boston (unless it's fairly close
to Orange, CT, where Rachael has family) but if I do I'm going to make
a point of stopping by and meeting the people who run this shop.

Almost anywhere in CT is only a few hours at most from Boston (and
Waltham is on the near side of Boston relative to CT), though Orange
is almost as far from Boston as you can get in CT - probably close to
a 3 hour drive...

Ah, 3 hours is nothing.  I'm used to TN driving times, after all.  I
used to make the drive from Memphis to Nashville and back every week.

Woooooshhhh!  Enter Han Stanley -- captain of the Millenium Porsche -- makes
point five past limit-speed.  :)


I guess we could end up there after all - especially if we can find a
decent hotel and other things to do for a day trip.

If you can't find stuff to do in Boston for a day trip, you would be
weird... The hard part would be what to see in just a day... (our church
youth group went up for a week this spring, and they had trouble picking
what they would see and what they wouldn't).

A few things which I would reccomend:

the USS Constitution
architechture in and around Boston
Lexington & Concord  (hm, I wonder if I could scrounge up mini-figs to
design a Old North Bridge Lego scene...)

Hey, The Construction Site is going to be having another LEGO play/building
day sometime in the next couple of months...  They'll make an announcement
when they've set a date.  They usually plan it for a weekend, so if you're
able to make the trip coincide with that, that's one thing fun to do for
half a day (or a whole day, if you feel like going out for microbrewery suds
and/or ice cream afterwards).

The Computer Museum in Boston <http://www.tcm.org/> is quite a treat.
(I haven't been there yet but everyone says it's great.)
