FENWAY!!

I know my brothers and parents have been waiting and waiting for this to be posted so finally a week later I am posting it.

David and I were able to go to a Red sox game last Sunday. It was so much fun!! We had the perfect seats and we only paid 85 dollars for them!!! We went with my boss and her husband Autumn and Jim. I didn't think that I would like it at all but for that price how could you say no. So we went and it was SO much fun. Jim and I were like "Oh my gosh did you see that catch or oh so close" Autumn and David couldn't have cared less but had fun none the less. 
When we got their during the National Anthem these men in red shirts were rolling this big white thing out and we couldn't tell what it was but if they were doing it during the National Anthem it must have been important. It was, it was a cover for the field to protect it from the rain that began falling. They got it covered seconds before it pored rain. The game was delayed for an hour. But surprisingly you didn't get bored. The Vendors were exiting to watch and hear them yell. David had to do the whole experience Hot Dog and Peanuts. I was laughing so hard. He ate a whole bag of Peanuts by himself. 
Sadly we ended up leaving early so that we could catch our train out which was an hour late coming so we could have stayed longer. It was the top of the 7th when we left and the Cardinals has scored 2 and Red sox none the game was fun to watch but nothing exciting happened till after we left. They played 13 innings and the Red sox won 5 to 3!! I was SO sad that we had to leave. But I am very very very excited to go to the Yankee Stadium with my parents when they come out to see us. It will be so much fun!!
The Fenway park is SO much smaller than it looks on tv. I was shocked their isn't a bad seat in the house. They man that we got the tickets from told us to watch out for right handed batters foul balls. Sure enough we had 7 come in our direction. We weren't fortunate enough to get one though. Hopefully we can go again next year. I would do it again no doubt. It is so much more fun watching it in person rather than on TV. 
All and all it was a good day!!! The day before Hans had asked me who was going to play and I told him Red Sox and the Celtics. He laughed so hard and said that I knew nothing about baseball and I was like ya cause they are a basketball team huu... He shared with my whole family. But I did see the Celtics play ok well it was a kid wearing a jersey playing buckets for money but that counts right. :-) Here are some pictures ENJOY!!!!
