Boston Red Sox - August 12, 2016

It was pretty amazing to catch sight of this for the first time.

Lobster roll and fries, anyone?

Owen ate nearly the entire thing himself. This is a super flattering shot of Lee in the background.

Aliyah ponders the mysteries of the Boston hot dog.

Proof that we made it to Fenway!

Watching the guys change the scoreboard between innings.

Captain Kirk threw out the first pitch. :-)

We finally made it to one of baseball's great cathedrals - Fenway Park.  We were all really looking forward to it.  Traffic in Boston was so crazy on a Friday night that we took a cab from the hotel, but then asked the cabbie to stop several blocks from the stadium because the streets and sidewalks were so jammed with people going to Fenway.

The food at Fenway got mixed reviews. I thought it was pretty good. I had a lobster roll and fries. Aliyah got a snap dog. Owen ate an elephant ear that was bigger than his head.

We LOVED watching them update the manual scoreboard. Our seats weren't my favorite because we were right center field. That's far away from the game and you have to crane your head to see the video board.

William Shatner threw out the first pitch, so nerdy joy there. Overall, Boston fans didn't disappoint. They were as rabid as we expected. Wrigley Field is still the better of the two old ball parks, but Boston, we loved you.
