And so begins day two in Boston...
Saturay morning, we got up an had breakfast and then headed out to tour some more of Boston. It was raining and yucky when we left, but luckily the subway stop we chose came right out into a mall so we got to stay indoors for a while longer. We browsed through the mall and then headed outdoors when it looked "safe". We walked a while looking for a store that Anthony's parents had heard of, and look what we happened to come across...
Anthony says I look like a nerd in the picture, but I was really excited about it because I love libraries!
We walked a little farther and passed a beautiful, old church.
And, if I remember correctly, just about the time we finished looking at that church, is when the skies opened up and poured on us! Luckily, Anthony and I had brought along some ponchos, and there was a CVS nearby so Anthony's parents could go buy some as well. We did get soaked but continued on our journey for a while longer until we came back to the mall we started in, so we could grab some lunch. After chowing down on some delicious yummies, we headed for our final destination!
Unsuspecting, we walked around a corner, and this was our first sighting..
Such a fun moment, and I'm so glad I got to be there to experience my husband's first trip to the home of
his baseball team.
Here's where we entered the park, Gate C.
Once we got inside Anthony made the comment that it was not as nice as Camden Yards (Orioles park), and that is true, but this place also had a lot more character than Camden Yards. I don't know how old Fenway Park is, but standing there, I could really imagine people from the 1950's walking through these hallways. It just had a classic "baseball feel" to it.
We arrived at Fenway plenty early, so we could walk around and see everything and view the field from all the different angles. Here's Bailey girl sporting her Red Sox hat, before the game.
And here are Daddy and Bailey standing in front of the green monster. SUCH a great picture!
In this picture we were well into the game, the sixth inning maybe. It had started POURING and they had to delay the game. It was so strange, because from where we were sitting, you could see the rain coming across the field, as in, it wasn't raining on us yet, but we could see it coming. This was a blessing from the Lord though, because Bailey was sleeping in Anthony's lap, and since we could see the rain before it got to us, we were able to get her covered without disturbing her very much, and she slept through all the hard rain. Poor Anthony though, deemed his poncho to be a "pup tent" since he wasn't really wearing it correctly, just had it on well enough to cover himself and Bailey. It kept getting foggy under the poncho since he and Bailey were both breathing in there! I wish I had a picture of it, but taking a picture was far from my mind at the time; I was just trying to stay as dry as possible!
I belive this picture is from when they were taking the tarp off the field when it was just sprinkling a bit.
It eventually started raining again, and I think it was the eighth inning, when the Red Sox were way behind, and Anthony finally decided that was enough rain for us! So the Sox did lose, but we had a fun time and made great memories anyways!
And lastly, here's Bailey at Logan Airport, waiting to board our plane. That's our little rinky-dink plane in the background.
Like I said, we had a fabulous time and would love to go back again, but hopefully without the rain next time! :)
