Boston trip...

We had a short but very fun trip to Boston last week. We bought tickets to the Red Sox game back in Jan when they went on sale... that was a LONG process. Anyhow- we got our tickets and have been looking forward to going all year. We decided that with the trip being so short that we would leave Trey with his Grammy and Papi here in Georgia.
We arrived in Boston on Tuesday afternoon and Kevin and Suzanne drove in from NJ and picked us up at the airport. After we checked into the hotel we headed to Harvard Square to grab dinner. We walked around for what seemed like hours- and even sat down at one place but left after looking at the menu. I don't think the 4 of us have ever felt more like a fish out of water than while being there. Soooo we jumped on the T and headed to Boston Gardens and ate at Cheers. The food was great and the atmosphere was also great. Here we are:
The next day Chip and I got up early and took the Boston Duck tour. They have the duck tours in a few cities (I've also done the Philly Duck tour) and they are lots of fun. This one certainly did not disappoint. There is much wonderful history in Boston. Here I am while in the Charles River (Love that dirty water...)
Chip even got to drive the Duck!! I won't bore you with all the pictures I took of the buildings and historical sites...
After the Duck tour we walked down to Fenway to meet Kevin and Suzanne and Chip's old college roomie who is living in Boston now. We had lunch at Boston Beer works- yum! Then we walked around the park and bought some goodies at the Red Sox store before heading into the park. The Red Sox won in dramatic fashion in the bottom of the 9th- it was a GREAT game!!! Here are a few pictures:
