BOSTON :) Thursday and Friday

So our first vacation with a little babe was a success!  Rocky at some points...definitely, but a success none the less :)  We started out the vacation with a Ranger game at home Thursday night.  It was baby girl's first MLB game and she LOVED it.  (by loved I mean, didn't scream through the whole thing when we were in the air conditioned store.)




Too bad we did not even get one good picture of us at our first game. But this is the jist!

The next morning we left super early at 5:00 to catch our flight.  That went fairly flawlessly other than me forgetting my ID and having to turn around once we got to the airport to go get it.  I couldn't believe it, I planned for this trip for weeks and had everything organized...including a color coded packing list for me and baby.  What do I do?  Forget my ID.  But the flight went well Jewels slept through most of it...just waking up every so often to let out a scream and remind everyone that she was still there!

 When we landed we drove to My Grandma's house, had lunch and got ready to go to Fenway.  This was by far the thing I was most excited about...I think we all were!  We got there early and since my Dad is a member of Red Sox Nation we got to go in an hour early and go to go to the top of the green monster..AmAzInG!!  We saw the A's take batting practice and ate a little snack and Juliette got her diaper changed on top of the green monster...How embarassing AWESOME!

Yawkey Way

The game was so different from any other game that I had ever been too, and very different from the Ballpark in Arlington.  It wasn't very family friendly (no games in between innings), was super squishy (the seats were SUPER close together),  and just had a different atmosphere. It seemed more legit...like every one was there for great baseball.  Not the dot race, or taco inning or all you can eat seats.  (Don't get me wrong I enjoy all of that stuff too.)  It was so great to finally be there.  Cody and I have wanted to go there for so long and we finally got to go.  It was all it was cracked up to be for sure!  Jewels did pretty well for most of the game, she just gets over stimulated and then very upset.  It will be her last game for a while...two in a row is a lot for a 4-month old to handle.



Please excuse the hairs...I had just taken her flower off cause it was pretty hot and windy!



The one red seat in Fenway..Represents the longest home run ever hit in the park by Ted Williams.  Rumor has it, that's where the ball landed :)

The train ride home was an adventure in itself.  The subway was super crowded because everyone takes it due to no parking.  Long story short, there were HUGE lines, we stood most of the way, took the wrong train, and didn't get home until 1:30am. Given, that our day started at 4:30 we were a little tired.  Yes, it was totally worth it!!  However, Baby Jewels has a different opinion :)  More on the rest of our vacation to come!
