Boston v2.0

So, we’ve finally left Boston after five days and it is definitely our favorite stop so far. On our very first day we didn’t have anything to do exactly, so we went to downtown Boston to visit the Yawkey Way store. The Yawkey Way store is the biggest and best team store, located right across the street from Fenway. We were around the store about an hour after a game had just ended and seeing all the people there and just being near the park made me ridiculously excited. I was raised as a Red Sox fan for my entire life and I could barely remember my last trip to Fenway. The next day we took it easy and went to Davis Square with Nate Grady. During the evening we had dinner with my Cousin John, his wife Colleen and their 11-month-old daughter Caroline (an avid Red Sox Fan already).



The next day we went to a Paw Sox game with Nate. It was fireworks night and the place was so packed we could only get standing room tickets. But after the 2nd inning we got lucky and found seats that lasted us the whole game.
On the Fourth, we saw our first game at Fenway. It was a day game and we sat in the centerfield bleachers. It was a good game and our seats were nice, except we couldn’t see the jumbotron because we were right below it. After the game we went to the Charles River to watch the huge Boston fireworks show. We spent a lot of time standing in the rain, but it was a lot of fun and the best fireworks I’ve ever seen. Much better than Pawtucket, at least.



For Thursday we had tickets for a night game courtesy of my cousin John, so during the day we decided to take a tour of Fenway. It was pretty interesting and we learned a few new things about the park. We got to sit in all of the nice seats too.
The weather forecast predicted rain in Boston so for the whole day we were praying to the gods of rain that we could see our second game. The rain held off for most of the day until about the 6th inning when it really started to pour. Of course at this time the Red Sox were up by about twelve runs… so it wasn’t really a problem.
All –in-all Boston was a lot of fun and definitely our best stop to date.
