Our spring field trip was to Boston.  We visited the Christa McAuliffe planetarium, Minute Man Museum, re-enacted the battle on the Lexington green, did a math trail around Copley Square, took an engineering workshop at MIT, visited the Boston Aquarium, and visited the pirates and witches of Salem.
