The main reason for my family’s visit to Boston was because Chris and I had tickets to the Red Sox/Yankees game on Friday, September 26th. These were supposed to be great tickets. The last weekend of play of the regular season for the Red Sox AND it was against the Yankees. Bound to be a great game, right?? Well, fortunate for the Red Sox, but unfortunate for us, the Red Sox didn’t really care too much about beating the Yankees. Their main concern was saving their best players for the ALDS which starts tomorrow. Those stinkers! What were they thinking getting beat by those sorry Yankees 19-8. Just ridiculous.
Oh, did I mention that it rained the ENTIRE weekend? The rain caused the game to be delayed by about an hour. The game got underway and then the rain started again around the 4th inning. We powered through another rain delay and managed to hang around at the game until the end of the 7th inning. It was not even close to the most fun that can be had at Fenway. There were hardly any fans at the game due to the rain so the atmosphere just wasn’t the same. I hope that my family will get to experience another game at Fenway because this one wasn’t up to par!

Due to the constant rain, we did A LOT of eating. We had lunch at the Union Oyster House (best clam chowder in Boston….Chris would disagree), lunch at Dolce Vita in the North End (yummy), dinner at Tavern in the Square (watched Alabama blackout the Bulldogs), and lunch takeout from Legal Seafoods (Chris’ favorite clam chowder).

Aside from the rain, it was a great weekend with the family! I just wish I could have made the rain go away, but, unfortunately, I don’t have that power.
I'm sorry you guys had so much rain!! At least you got to spend time with the family and eat some yummy food!
