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.)
