In Boston. What to do?

[strawman]

Me, my wife, and my spawnling minions are residing in a seaside cottage for the next seven nights, with limited Internet access. Usually we just do lots of research on the computer at the location, but we mistakenly thought this rental came with Internet, and it does not.

So tell me what must-see things exist in and around Boston.

If there are any halforumites in the area that want to have The Davis Experience, or just splash at the beach with us, PM me.

I'm having the forum email me responses, so please forgive me if I don't respond to questions and comments quickly.

Go to the Science Museum! If you are interested in someplace touristy, you can go see Cheers. Catch a ball game, if the Red Sox are in town? I've heard the Harvard museum is good, and you could probably see some cool stuff at MIT as well. I was only in Boston for work when I was there, so that's I'll I can come up with on the spot.

Bell in Hand was neat. You can drink a beer where Paul Revere used to drink a beer.[DOUBLEPOST=1345171384][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh oh oh!

The Union Oyster House! Oldest restaurant in America. Real good food and there's A LOT of history too. Seemed very kid friendly too.

Both Harvard Museum of Natural History and Museum of Fine Arts are free with a Bank of America card. Some museums have free days or are free after 4/5pm, like Museum of Fine Arts and MIT Museum. I found out I missed a free day for the Museum of Fine Arts by one day because I didn't ride the T (to see the ads). In addition to the Museum of Science, there is also the New England Aquarium.

Fenway. Even if there's no game, (Head's up, Sox games are pretty damn pricey.) there are still tours, and those are great. Last I heard, they take you out on the field, too.
