Trips for Prudential Center Skywalk Observatory

This is our hotel - it was used as a gas tank in the 1800's, which explains its round shape. It was not a bad location at all. It was a 10 minute, $10 cab ride to Back Bay and Copely Square. A subway line was about 10 blocks away. The staff …

Martha’s Vineyard: Part 1 Chris and I spent Memorial Day weekend in Martha’s Vineyard for our birthdays. Martha’s Vineyard, to give a little history, was named by Bartholomew Gosnold, who sailed to the island in 1602. He named the island Martha’s …

The trip finally begins! Getting up at 3 this morning somehow wasn't as bad as I thought, although now I'm having a hard time typing. And seeing. And walking. It was a long day of waiting around at airports and flying, but I finally made it …

Well, we're back. It was VERY cold the first week of April and some of the "goBoston card" attractions were closed. All in all, it was a great vacation though. The BeanTown Trolley didn't really turn out the way we had hoped. We thought we …
