The 2009 SEAOC Spring break trip was a fun filled week to Boston, MA. Ten students along with two ARCE advisors attended the trip. While the locals of Boston thought the idea of a group of California kids back East for spring break was crazy, everyone survived the chilling weather and had a great time. During the week, the group got to experience a wide variety of activities. Walking the freedom trail, Quincy Market, touring old churches and the Boston Public library, and the famous Duck Tours were some of the historically educational activities for the week. Along with history also came entertainment. The SEAOC group got to see the Boston Celtics beat the LA Clippers and tour America’s Oldest ball field- Fenway Park. The group also visited the Fine Arts Museum and saw a Broadway performance of Dirty Dancing.
In the midst of all of the tourist attractions of Boston, the group also got a taste of engineering in the city. The SEAOC group visited the Boston office of Wiss Janey & Elstner where they learned about the retrofit and repairs of delicate and historical structures. Later on, the Arup office hosted the group and shared about the firm and its engineering role in the city of Boston as well as globally.
Despite the food poisoning and missing Identification back in LAX, the trip overall was great. Thanks again to our sponsors: Wiss Janey & Elstner, KPFF Consulting Engineers, Simpson Strong Tie, Degenkolb, Miyomoto, and Hope Engineering. Thanks for making this trip possible.
