Talk about a late night - the packing and repacking continued well into the night and we emptied many belongings into Geoff's garage - several of which we hoped would fetch some holiday $$ for his kids on Craigslist.
We departed promptly at 8am; Vanessa and kids dropped off at Dedham to catch a commuter train into downtown Boston for a day at the
Boston Children's Museum while Marco rendezvoused with the RV buyer.
We said our goodbyes to 'Slowly but Shirley' at the train station; not sure if the children fully realized that would be our last ride in her but the train was a welcome distraction and we waved goodbye.

The train ride turned out to quite uneventful, there were many stops and it was a slow ride into the City. Once there we caught a taxi to the Museum.

This was the epitome of children's museums in the USA; the
Exploratorium in San Francisco is awesome, the
Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose is amazing BUT this was mind blowing...three levels of things to see, do, touch and experience...simply not enough hours in the day to fully explore or complete the suggested
100 things to do...so we played, we ate, we bought stuff and then we played some more.

Eventually we dragged our exhausted selves out of the Museum to wait for Marco...all had gone well with the sale and he had a big fat cheque to bank and with that, our RV-ing had officially come to an end.
Goodbye to Slowly but Shirley, Hillary the Hippo, Bella...our coast to coast ride of a life time. We sure had fun and will miss you!!
Squeezed into a mid-size rental we followed part of the
Freedom Trail north to our hotel for the night in Saugus; it was clean, cheap and close to the airport.
Dinner was a little nugget - a neighboring grill that specialized in Brazilian steak.
