A Red Sox Week

It started with a phone call from the Red Sox. The guy on the other side of the phone tells me he's from the red sox and that Jimmy won tickets to the Sox/Yankees game. I had signed them up three weeks ago when we took Jim and Laura with the ump. It was so exciting except they picked Jimmy's name and not Laura. She was a little bummed about it so smart daddy thinks that if I told her she won ten dollars worth of quarters everything would be alright. It wasnt quite. I felt bad. The very next day I got a call from Little Billy that he had tickets for that night. Awesome timing. Laura and I drove to the park, got our special parking and headed for the park. During the ride up she didnt stop talking once. Awesome !Laura wanted to hop on the bike carriage. We jumped in and cut the walk time down. Laura and I stayed until the ninth inning and we had a blast!!

With Jimmy's game, we pretty much knew that we were in for a rainout but figured it would be fun anyhow. Same parking place and sure enough Laura had bragged about the bike ride so Jimmy wanted in too. Only by now it was pouring rain. We were absolutely soaked by the time we got to fenway. We brought a umbrella and just sat there for a little over two hours. We went and sat behind home plate most of the time when we werent grabbing a bit to eat. Eventually, they lifted the tarp off the field and were ready to go when the sky opened up once more. We were soaked and cold and eventually they did call the game.

The next night the game was scheduled to start at 9pm. Sure enough, the first game went into extra innings and we didnt get started until late. We saw my friend Brian at the game and he had two extra seats right on the front along the right field line. We snuck into the front row and moved inward later on and sat closer in the front row.

I forget really who won either game but it was a great time either way. This second game we ended up by taking a bike ride back to the car in my special spot. Great times all around.
