We're almost at the end of July, and I am, as usual, stunned and amazed how fast the summer goes. As soon as the kids get out of school, it seems like there's all the time in the world, and then next thing you know it's August, and the time starts ticking in earnest. We have to get out school supply lists (I passed on buying the pre-packaged school supplies from the PTA this year - it was going to end up costing around $60, and as I'm pretty sure the pencils aren't made out of gold, that seems a tad excessive).
We just got back from a whirlwind trip to Boston - we met some friends there (who are actually from here); they unfortunately had a sick child and had to leave early, but we really enjoyed our time with them while we could. We went to the
Museum of Science (so awesome - I can't recommend it enough - there is absolutely something for everyone there), walked A LOT of
The Freedom Trail (and it was hot, so it definitely seemed like more), and went to the
Harvard Natural History Museum.
A quick trip, but we squeezed in a lot, and now are all pretty zapped and needing a quiet day to recover (or at least I am - the kids are bouncing around pretty good). We go to Cape Cod on Saturday, so I guess we also need to wash some clothes, unless I could talk everyone into wearing their bathing suits for a week....

The bathing suits could work--Cape Cod is pretty casual, and if the weather holds...
Fun! Boston is on our must-do list before we eventually leave the East Coast.
Not going to tell the frugal part, MN? We joined the NY Hall of Science before leaving on our trip. The Passport program got us free admission to the Museum of Science and the Harvard Museum of Natural History. Bang for the buck!
