Annual Red Sox trip with Jim



And yet another yearly tradition.  This is one of those great traditions we both look forward to.  I know i'm sappy but i do think back at all those times we've been here together and the fun times we've had.  This time he got out of football practice and I got out of work and we met at home and took his little Red Boogah to the old cathedral.  We got our special parking spot too.  He's gone a couple of times this year with his friends and has had good luck with wins....This game is a game for the ages because the win last night was the record for most wins ever for a Red Sox team.

During the game we went under the stands and Jimmy tossed a ball to see how fast he could toss it....He sounded a little like dear old Dad when he was grabbing his shoulder after firing the ball.  I know that feeling for sure!!!

Jimmy likes going to the bleacher seats.  The last couple of years this has been our thing.  Usually, we get seats in the loge section or lower grandstand but one year we ended up in the bleachers for some reason and he said he liked it because he can see the whole field better.  This year I went on Stub Hub and checked the seats and got the third row center field.  We had a pleasant surprise when we got there and found out that the third row was actually the first row with the handicap area in front of us.  They were great seats!!  It was cold..  Even Jimmy got a little cold and thats saying something. ...to that reminds me...one of the great traditions of going to the games started with Jimmy and has gone on to the other buggahs is to get ice cream in the fifth inning.  It has been a staple of the trip but today, i thought it would be in jeopardy because it was so cold....It was cold!!!  But remembering who I was there with, it was no surprise that there we were in the Ice Cream line......He told me that eating the ice cream made him a little warmer....


Overall, it was a great night with my little cowboy.  Yeah, he isnt so little anymore but i'm so glad he still wants to go places with me.  I really enjoy it!!
