Friday Night At Fenway!!!

As part of my birthday present Denise got us tickets to Friday night's red sox game vs. the St. Louis Cardinals..

The weather was schizophrenic that day..sunny and warm then rainy and cool then sunny and warm again.

We left New Hampshire and headed toward Boston...Of course we got stuck in friday afternoon traffic as we approached Beantown...


Our first stop was at El Pelon Taqueria...This is a great little Mexican place with outdoor seating just a few block from Fenway Park...




We then headed over to the game...The Red Sox were honoring the World Champion Boston Celtics as part of the pregame...We arrived just as the duckboats with the players were getting ready to enter the stadium....

We got to our seats and just as we sat down it started to pour..It did this for about 45 minutes or so.. We got totally soaked but we stayed there nonetheless.
Finally the Duckboats with the celtics came onto the field...




The rain subsided and a beautiful rainbow appeared over Fenway....The game finally started an hour and fifteen minutes late...



After standing in the rain for so long Denise never quite warmed up...
Here is a picture of us.. Notice she is bundled up...So much for it being the first day of summer..


The game itself was fun (albeit a little cold) ...However, the Sox struggled all night and left 11 men on base...The Cardinals prevailed 5-4...
