Fun Day in Boston

The team had our "Fun Day" in Boston today, which was a blast. First, we had the requisite Dunkin Donuts downtown where we all met up (I'm pretty sure it was the second coffee for half of us).

Then we took an adventure to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. This museum used to be the home of a woman of Boston who left her treasures for the city to enjoy. She had all kinds of quirky preferences that have been kept in tact. For example, below one painting of a woman and flying cupids/angels, she has a sculpture of a cupid lying down sideways on a table, to give the impression that it fell out of the painting.

For lunch, we ate at the very hip LTK - Test Kitchen for Legal Seafoods. Good food, crazy waitress, and great location.

Finally we went to an exhibit on modern design showcased at the ICA - Institute of Contemporary Art. The structure itself is a work of art, with a huge overhang over the Boston Harbor. The design exhibit was just up our alley, with interesting pieces such as the newest design of Target Rx bottles, the clay pieces used by Pixar for animation, the Boeing plane being designed for passengers' space and comfort, and more. A very apropos show for us to see!

Thanks to Rob for more pics, too.
