Things to do with my dad

[sindrian]

I'm back in Boston, and I've got a lot a lot of posting to catch up on. However, first things first:
On Thursday, my father's coming to town, and we could use some suggestions for places to go and things to see!
Specifically, we love museums and art, so we'll definitely be hitting the MFA, but where else should we go?

Thanks!

There's also the Institute for Contemporary Art. If you're willing to go up to Salem, I love the Yin Yu Tang house they brought over from China and rebuilt at the Peabody Essex Museum. If you do go, I'd alos love to get your impression of the "Ripple Effect, the Art of H2O" exhibit that just opened.

Isn't there also a pirate museum in Salem? Andy & I have somehow not been yet, but I really want to go.

Museum of Science is a favorite of mine, and can be enjoyable as an adult though it is geared for kids. I haven't actually been to many of the museums around here, probably because I grew up here and it's hard to be a tourist in your own town. I've never been to Old North Church, for example. But I have been to Old Ironsides/USS Constitution, so if you like awesome old ships, I can recommend that.
