Things I didn't see in Boston & surrounding area (and why I must return without kids)

• Bunker Hill
• Beacon Hill
• Hahvahd Yahd
• molasses stains
• anyone rowing on Charles River (does that only happen in books/movies?)
• Walden Pond & spot of Thoreau's cabin
• Wayside (where the writers stayed, next door to Miss Alcott. I laughed at the line in the Winona Ryder remake of Little Women, when she said that her parents were AT's, since the book's theme & plot reflect more traditional Christianity. Could it be that I was--gasp--wrong?)
• Salem, Mass: I'm always interested in Mass hysteria
• the ZOOM sound stage. I was never even proficient in Ubbie Dubbie, although I am quite fluent in Pig Latin.
• Fenway Park (but I did realize that it was named such because it was built--wait for it--in the fens! Sounds straight out of Tolkein, doesn't it.)
• Parker House Hotel (to eat some rolls, of course.)
• Commonwealth Books (which also caught my attention, as I drove past it 42 times)

Any takers for a weekend in Boston? Round trip from Atlanta for $158 through Orbitz.

Also? I've decided that the appropriate name for this is "Colonial/Revolutionary American Progam." More appropriate acronym, in any case.
