Higgins Armory Museum to close this year
Lord Dane:
Sir Brian is expecting us to have many inconvenient traffic stops due to uncalled for congestion, outrageous gas usage, & extorting toll prices. He just defined driving in Massachusetts.
Sir Edward:
I'm really sorry to be missing out on this. I very much wanted to see the museum before closing. Granted, all of the important displays will be moved to another museum, and we'll have further opportunities to see them, but still.
It just wouldn't have worked out for me this month, unfortunately.
Sir Douglas:
Man, I really wish I could have gone. But, as usual, I live on the wrong side of everything and it would have been way too long of a haul. Besides, once I stepped foot in the museum, you probably wouldn't have been able to get me to leave. ;)
But have fun and take lots of pics!

Yes, this. Pictures, or it didn't happen! :)
Sir James A:
I hate to bail last minute like this, but I think I'm going to have to grudgingly pass. :(
It's a long haul both ways for me to drive it on my way, which, I knew a few days ago. I sat down to map out the route, and with tolls, it's 6 1/2 hours to the timeshare. Which puts me there around 2am, assuming I skip a shower and load the car and leave directly after work. If I bypass tolls, it jumps to 7 1/2 hours time.
I also figured out on gas, that I'm looking at about $150 in gas both ways; that's a big chunk for me to take solo. It wasn't so bad splitting with other people.
I think I'm going to go along with Sir Edward's thought - the important stuff (hopefully important to us!) will be moved, and we can visit it next year. Unfortunately we can't visit the *building*, but 15+ hours on the road solo, on the weekend before Christmas, when I've not bought a single present for anyone yet ... is probably not such a good idea. :( I may have to just take a couple aleve and sulk about. :(
If there are no pictures... blood will be spilled. :)
