Our Trip to Boston!

John and I decided to get away this past weekend to help celebrate our Anniversary that was last month. Thanks to my sister Betsey and Brother in law David we were able to go Kid less. They had 7 kids between ours and theirs for the weekend!! Our kids had a ball!
Saturday morning, we took the train down to Boston from Portland. It was so convenient, and it was great not to have to deal with Traffic, Parking, Tolls, Gas etc.. We toured around the city and saw lots of sites. We ate lunch at Quincy Market, which was fun- there were so many food choices! We had Red Sox tickets for Saturday's game. We went to Fenway and unfortunately the game was rained out and rescheduled for Sunday night. We spent about 2 hours there and were able to get a couple Yankee Player's autographs, one of which was Mariano Rivera's who will probably be in the Hall of Fame at some point. Let me make it clear that we are NOT Yankees fans, but it was fun to get those autographs and be so close to the players. Two of them spent close to an hour signing- quite impressive.
Sunday we hung out at our hotel. We stayed at a downtown Hilton which is normally $300/night, we paid $140 with Priceline- What a deal!!! My High School friend Amy met us at our Hotel and then we headed to the Prudential for lunch. We ate at "The Top of the Hub" on the 56th floor- Great View and fun to catch up with Amy. We went on a "Duck" tour Sun afternoon and got The "Red Sox Nation" Duck Truck- how appropriate! The Tour was fun- had never been on the Charles River before. Our Tour Guide was a Hoot- played "Cops" by Poilce officers and by the Jail etc..
Went to Fenway Sun Evening and saw The Red Sox play the Yankees-. We only recognized 3 of the Red Sox players (Timlin, Wakefield, and Crisp) as they had already made the playoffs, so the normal Starters were resting up. At any rate it was fun to watch! We had to leave in the bottom of the 8th so we could make our 11:20pm train home. The Red Sox won in the bottom of the 10th 4-3.
All in all it was a great memorable trip and one we'll hopefully do again sometime.
