My birthday officially started late Saturday night/early Sunday morning by viewing the Prudential Center lit up with "MIT 150" in celebration of you guessed it....MIT's 150th anniversary. Saturday night we were watching the Bruins game on campus and as we were leaving we saw that the Pru was brighter than normal. So we decided to walk over to the Charles River and take a few pictures.
The next morning, I woke up to breakfast in bed, lovingly prepared by my amazing husband. He made pancakes with a side raspberries and nectarine slices. I love pancakes; my favorite!
Later in the day we went for a walk at Castle Island in South Boston. We saw Castle Island when we were on our dinner cruise the weekend before and knew we wanted to check it out. Once an island, Castle island is now connected to land by a narrow walkway on one side and reclaimed land on the other. The "island" has beaches, parks, and a historic fort. It's also right on the flight path to the airport and is a great place to watch planes come in.
For dinner we went for sushi at one of my favorite restaurants, Yoki, here in Medford. It's across the street from us and their food is delicious. We visit this restaurant quite frequently, so naturally it seemed like the right choice for my birthday.
We ordered a bunch of rolls and sushi between the two of us. For dessert we had green tea ice cream that was deep fried in tempura batter and topped with whipped cream. It's one of my favorites!
