Thinking out loud

mizarchivistMy mother in law's visit is in t-minus 2 weeks. It's time to start thinking about entertainment options!
Her preference for "touristy" activity was whale watch. M. and I are working her around to a visit to the aquarium instead: easier to manage, does not depend on weather or the elusive sightings of sea mammals. And 3 hours. God help us if we don't see whales.
Yay! One activity down, but need more to keep us from just staring at each other blankly after those 2 planned hours are done.
There's also the National Heritage Museum in Lexington. It's open on the weekends, easy to get to and as far as I can tell, free.
M. suggested some activity such as building a raised bed in the back yard for herbs and whatnot. Good, but labor intensive. Again, what about the rain aspect of things? It could be bucketing.
So, now I need to consider some laid back options. Ones that don't require good weather or aimless wandering on cement floors. And preferably not going to drain my wallet of fun money for the rest of the month (grin). If anyone has ideas, feel free to share!

I've been on a few whale watches and most times, you do see some whales. The odds of a really good, close sighting are fairly high, in my experience.
The glass flowers at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, if they've never seen them, 'cause they can't see anything like that anywhere else.
Are they ever gonna reopen the Hancock tower? Or have they already?
