The Prudential Center: Skywalk Observatory

We snacked on some convenience store sandwiches and chips during the train ride to the Prudential Center. We'd decided on a Duck Tour but didn't make online reservations the night before. They wouldn't sell out that fast right? Well they did! We decided on the skywalk instead since we were already there.

I was obvisouly listening to something very interesting

We stopped at the Cheescake Factory and grabbed some cheescake. It was our anniversary right? Well the kinds we got were so rich neither one of us could finish. We should have split a piece. We sat outside and enjoyed our cake but missed David when we saw all the kids playing in the fountain.

I really wish we would have know about the skywalk when we first moved out. It would have been a great activity during those weeks of apartment hunting and while living in a hotel. The views were amazing. It really oriented me to all things Boston. Bridges, neighborhoods, universities, sights. Maybe we'll go back at night time.
