out what indoor activities we could do.

First stop was Burdick's Chocolate. They are known for their cups of chocolate. They melt solid chocolate into a cup. That's it. It is of course decadent, as are the desserts. We waddled out of there feeling like stuffed pigs and went to the Harvard Museum of Natural History. You really need to include this in your trip to Boston. Take the time to see the Glass Plant Exhibit. You will be amazed.

After spending a great deal of the afternoon walking Harvard and the museum, we headed for Red Bones, the best barbeque in Boston. There is nothing fancy, but the ribs are the best. Be ready for very loud and extremely crowded. We put our name in and had a 45 minute wait, so we wandered over to the Diva Lounge. I had an apple martini that made the dinner wait more than fine.

Another waddle back to the hotel after dinner. We were very tired from logging in 6 miles of walking. Friday we put in 8 miles. By the end of our weekend in Boston we had walked over 20 miles. No wonder you don't need a gym in Boston.

We were already talking about our next time in town and where we wanted to go. There is so much we still have not seen. My daughter wants to check out colleges, so I'm praying for scholarships.

Go see Boston. Rain or shine, it's worth your time.
