Boston: Day 2

After getting ready and grabbing some breakfast, we got in the car to figure out the best route to get me to the race's bus loading spot for the following morning. This meant another hour long commute into Boston, but we needed to make sure that we wouldn't get lost. After we figured out where I needed the meeting spot we all headed to Salem. We ended up at one of the more popular attractions, the Witch Museum. It was definitely interesting, but I think that the way the presentation was set up was a little scary for kids. Hayden did end up getting a stuffed cat from Grandma and Grandpa (you can see him holding it in the picture above).


Afterwards, we found a this historical site and decided to check it out.




Then we posed in front of this awesome looking pirate ship.

Later on, we drove back into Boston to try and visit Harvard. The streets were so busy there and we couldn't find parking. So we ended up doing a self-guided tour by car in Cambridge where we saw MIT and Harvard.


Then we headed back to Danvers for dinner. There weren't a lot of dining options so we ate at Applebee's, but I at least got in some carbs before the race (also, my stomach was in knots and food wasn't what I really wanted).
