The Museum of Science. The USS Constitution.

Anybody else do a sleepover at the MoS as a kid? So much fun.

[–] wheelie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No but that sounds like fun. What did you do?

We got to go for a 4th grade field trip 20+ years ago, but basically got to enjoy the museum after it was closed to the public, sleep over and then do some more fun stuff in the morning. Just being in a place like that after most of the lights were shut off and trying to sneak around at night was a magical experience for a kid.

Dumb tangent, me and a kid I'm still friends with ran into each other in the parking lot and jumped full speed with the inflated garbage bag to do a belly bump and I went flying because I was much skinnier. Good times.

Also a bonus lesson in inertia.

[–] BettyWhiteInHD@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah no kidding. Who knew were doing science?

Even better ….. AS A DAD! I’ve had several sleepovers at MoS, Battleship Massachusetts, Cruiser Quincy, whatever that eco center is in metro west. Sleepovers are wasted on kids but it can be a blast shepherding them.

Dad-ventures can start early - my first was sneaking out of a cabin at daybreak, to go on a hike and give my little one his first bottle of the day at the top of a mountain in the Adirondacks
