Living in Central Mass affords you several large cities such as Springfield, Boston, Hartford, Providence and Worcester. That's 5 major cities within a short driving distance!!! There are so many things to explore!
Day 53 brings us to the Springfield Science Museum. This is a very family oriented museum and has a lot to offer if you want to explore the science behind our existance. It seems that they have something new to offer almost every day of the month.
