Things to do in Boston when you're pregnant?
ChadTower:
The Computer Museum has been closed since 1999. The hardware was moved to California. Their organization joined the Museum of Science staff and built the Virtual Fish Tank. It's kind of cool but usually full of unattended 8 year olds running around under zero control.
ChadTower:
WPI is a decent school but you're right, a lot of rich kids there.
Just like any other major University and there are tons of them in Boston.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
We did *a lot* on walking (the first day). Went from the Back Bay area to the North end and back on foot. The next day we decided to experience the joy of mass transit. The "T" is probably the fastest and easiest to use transit system my wife and I have ever used.
We checked out Quincy Market, spent an afternoon at the Museum Of Science and saw numerous historical landmarks. Even got a little snow on Monday! Great city. Clean. Not Seattle clean but not San Francisco or New York, either. We love all those cities so it really doesn't matter anyway...
One thing that stood out to us was the sheer number of young (<35) people there. Everyone was young! All in all, a great trip.

Boston is a huge college city. Many many colleges and universities, many of them the most prestigious in the country. So you see a lot of young folks around this time of year, especially if you're near one of those schools.
The T has improved dramatically over the last 15 years. It's still scary at night at the wrong stops but with the newer trains it's much more pleasant than it used to be.
Did you hit the Planetarium or the Van De Graaf show at the MoS?

Now I feel dumb. Of course, colleges. As for the Planetarium and the VDG generator - yes and yes. The Van De Graaf show was amazing!
