Our Long Day in Boston

Originally we planned on seeing a 1 o'clock Boston Red Sox game, however due to the Boston Bruin's winning the Stanley Cup the game got pushed back to a 7pm.  This gave us the opportunity to not only see a Red Sox game but see a championship parade as well.  So we got up early and drove to the nearest train station to get into Boston.  But as soon as Chris drove the car to the entrance it was clear that the station was already shut down to the amount of people going to the parade.  With some quick driving and google map action we got to the next train station with enough time to make it downtown before the parade started.  But as you can imagine, everyone had the same thought and the same plan and the train was packed!

But we did get to see the parade!

And the Trophy! 

 Next up was looking for some food to get us through the rest of the day.  So we took a small trek to find one of the most famous mexican restaurants in the city, called Anna's.  The best thing about the lunch was not the food, but that Christie was too scared to try the cheese.  They put slices of american cheese into the burritos then warm the cheese up till it melted.  What was weird about it?  Nothing, but the day after convincing Laura to be brave during dinner, she couldn't eat melted cheese because it was sliced not grated.

The next few hours we spent walk (from one end to the other) of Boston, window shopping and quenching our thirst along the way.

But after a very long day we finally made it to Fenway Park!

Around the stadium just buzzes before games.  With people converging to the park well before the game started to get a hotdog, grab a bear, or just hang out with all the other fans waiting to get in.

We were 2 hours early, so we hung out a bar across the street.  We had some beverages and got ready to get inside the most famous and historic ballpark in baseball.

We had great seats in the center field bleachers.

Christie and Laura were supposed to go down to grab some food and beer for Chris and I, and about an hour later I caught them under the bleachers talking with no feed or beer in hand! 

 The Red Sox ended up losing that game, however it was an amazing experience.  AT&T park is always going to be my favorite ballpark, but Fenway park has the history, energy, and atmosphere that can't be duplicated.  I mean anywhere they play Sweat Caroline every game between innings is always gonna be a favorite of mine.

The game ended past 10, and we finally got home around 1... A very long day in Boston and a special thanks to the Andersons for a great weekend!
