Girls can't do that

Today we took a ferry to Cranberry Island - a small island off Mount Desert Island that houses a museum. Our task today was to pack up the museum so the artifacts would be protected during the winter season. When we arrived at the museum, Tony and Matt were taken outside and given manly tasks to complete - mowing the lawn and cutting tree branches.

Inside, Layla, Tina and I were told that there was a variety of tasks that needed to be completed indoors - taking down some signage, vacuuming dead bugs, etc. The curator for the museum said that when the boys were finished working outside, they could come in and help us by climbing up the ladder to remove the signs. Yes, she was as serious as it gets!

Of course, telling me that I can't do something because I am a girl is the fastest way to get me to do it.
