John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum

We are on our way to Denmark!  First, we are making a connection in Cincinnati before flying onto Boston.  We will be spending the night in Boston before catching our flight to Denmark tomorrow.

Snow is on the ground!

Today we took an Uber to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.  It is located right on the harbor.

Pictured below is a coconut John F. Kennedy used to save himself and his crew during World War II.  During the war, he was serving as a commander on a boat that was hit by a Japanese destroyer.  The crew was stranded in the Solomon Islands.  John F. Kennedy carved a message into he coconut and gave it to natives to deliver to the base.  They did as asked and he and his crew were rescued.  The coconut shell was kept on his desk in the Oval Office.

I found the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum to be a little disappointing.  There just weren't many artifacts, in my opinion.

After our visit was over, we head to the airport to catch our flight to Denmark.  After grabbing a quick snack, it was time to go!

Tomorrow we will be in Denmark!
