A big sleep in followed by a big breakfast. We made our way into town and joined "Boston Duck Tours". A bit different and something we had hoped the kids would enjoyed. Isabel promptly fell asleep but was awoken with a splash as we changed from road to the Charles River. A very entertaining tour and managed to kill the boat cruise at the same time. Both Liam and Isabel has turns at the steering wheel, fortunately whilst we were in the water and not on the road.
After lunch we hopped onto the subway and headed out to Harvard. This old, old university is beautiful to walk through and the place was ready to graduate the next generation. Chairs, tents and graduates practicing speeches added to the atmosphere. We strolled through the grounds and found ourselves at the Harvard Natural History Museum. Nearly as many stuffed animals that Isabel owns, albeit a bit more lifelike, and a few dinosaur fossils to boot. A collection of Indian memorobillia from Lewis and Clark was also excellent.
The most amazing exhibit was the glass flowers - a father and son team have made glass replicas of some 8000 different flowers and they are awesomely lifelike. Somehow both kids ended up in some Pyschology experiment being conducted by a Harvard Graduate (I hope he was a Harvard Graduate) and received Harvard Teddy Bears for their trouble.
