We went down to the Museum of Science. We had a great time there. At noon Grandma Gina and Papa brought the little ones home and Miriam and Gracie and I rode the train back down to the museum. The problems all started when we were trying to find our way from the Mass General Hospital train stop back over the highway and along the river to the museum. Everything seemed to lead to a dead end so I took matters into my own hands and started off down a path that I knew would lead right to where I wanted to go. Gracie tried to stop me, “Mom, Mom, there’s a sign back there that says, ‘No Trespassing’”.
My reply, “I don’t think so.” It wasn’t long before we were on an island in the middle of a freeway with cars racing around us at 60 miles per hour. Scary. Ooops. As JRR Tolkien puts it, “Short cuts, make long delays”.Once we finally made it back to the museum, the highlights for me were the weather show where they made it snow inside and watching the girls at the self-videoing station. Happy Birthday, Gracie!

Kim we are both directionally and spatially retarded! I'm glad you found your way back home! I wish I could have come see you in Boston! Sounds like you guys have had a great 6 months there! Happy 10th birthday Gracie!
I was thinking that maybe we were going to be stuck (forever) on that island in the middle of the freeway. I thought maybe we would starve or thirst to death. It was still a great day. Don't forget the nice taxi driver that saved us.

There's nothing like having your kid know more than you! It always makes me feel so 'humbled' when that happens. Happy Birthday Gracie! Sounds like your mom takes you to fun places. Oh, and I'm with nattybrun, are you really that well read?
