Boston - Sept. 2006

Overview

Quote:

Boston is a fantastic city. Rich in history and culture, there is something for everyone. During this trip, my girlfriend and I got away for a night into the city, even though I live about a half hour away. We checked into a nice hotel, took in an acclaimed exhibit at a local museum, and had a great dinner at a chain themed restaurant.Quick Tips: Travel during the week if you can. Most kids are in school and can make it easier to get into some things, and it is less crowded.Travel in the late summer/early fall. Boston doesn't have much by way of foliage but the weather is fantastic.Best Way To Get Around: If you can take the MBTA (public transportat...Read More

Radisson Hotel Boston

Hotel | "Radisson"

Quote:

I booked this hotel through a major online travel website, whereby I named my own price. The lobby was nice, clean, contemporary, and clean. The front desk clerk that checked us in (Lexi) was very nice, and even offered a late lunch suggestion the day we checked in.I had called the hotel in the morning to confirm my reservation, and room size (as I didn't know what kind of bed was in it). They said one bed, and found upon check-in that it was on the 24th floor. Room 2401 to be exact. Walk in to the room with a small hallway with bath on the right. At the end is the desk. Look to your right, and their was a massive hutch with TV, iron, with a couch and coffee table.At the end of the roo...Read More

Hard Rock Cafe

Restaurant

Quote:

This location of Hard Rock Cafe is very similar to others in the chain. Music memorabilia ALL around with various music videos and accompanying music resonating throughout the place.This was not our first visit to this restaurant, and certainly not our last. Food is reasonably priced (around $10 for entrees). Portions are big enough...not having you longing for more, but not so big that you have leftovers for 2 days.The food quality was great. My girlfriend had the Grilled Buffalo Chicken Sandwich (chicken, buffalo sauce, bleu cheese, and ranch dressing on a bun). She said that it was spicy enough for her palette but too hot for mine (she was right, but nonetheless very good. I had a g...Read More

Museum of Science

Attraction | "Museum of Science / Body Worlds 2"

Quote:

We have been to the Museum of Science many times before. This particular visit, we took in a new exhibit called "Body Worlds 2". In short, they are actually human specified preserved by a method called Plastination, and it shows how we as humans work and how things are connected and effected by various factors (i.e. smoking, cancer).The exhibit was quite interesting. It may be a little much for younger people (17 and under) but with proper explanation, parents can be a big help for them. I saw one mother explain to her 5-6 year old daughter that that child's brain she was looking at was much like the one in her head. The child seemed intrigued.Forewarning, admission ...Read More
