Beautiful Day (or Night): A U2 Themed Boat Ride

June 16, 2009 on 7:00 am | In Uncategorized |

This past weekend, Pete planned a surprise for which he bought tickets. Which meant that, for two days, he heard a relentless stream of questions like, “Will we drive or take the T to the surprise location?,” “How many people will be there?,” “When did you find out about the event?,” “Is it around every weekend?,” and, perhaps the two most important questions, “What should I wear?” and “Will there be food?” Most of which he patiently answered. Unlike Pete, I enjoy a surprise. After he announced that the plans were a secret, I would have been disappointed if he’d told me. W

But guessing is totally different. He assumed that once we got off the T and I saw where we were, I would have a pretty good guess as to where we were going. I, in turn, assumed he was putting too much faith in my directional sense. But, when we got off at the Aquarium stop and headed towards the harbor, the answer could only be: on a boat.

And not just any boat. This was a combined harbor cruise and concert with The Joshua Tree, a U2 Tribute band. Which was a really fun way to spend to spend 3 hours.
