Fenway Park

As part of the 100-year anniversary of Fenway Park, there was a day you could go and tour all around it for free.  Sophie and I went and although were lots of people there, it was really neat and I'm glad we went.  Plus, we got some awesome photos, including some from the field and on top of the Green Monster.  Go Red Sox (next year anyway...)!

 We headed up on top of the Green Monster first.  With this view, you understand why they wanted to add seats up here.

 I asked Sophie to sit down so I could take her picture... she chose the seat that was farthest away, natch

 Ooh, real-live players

 We got to go on the field and walk all the way around!

 I told you there were lots of people there, which meant a long line which bottlenecked at the Green Monster

 Of course we had to seize the opportunity to actually touch it, even if was against the rules...  You could see inside it too, where the scorekeepers work

 100 years!  Can you believe they wanted to tear it down?

 Wally, the embodiment of the Green Monster.  This prompted the purchase of a Red Sox shirt with Wally on it, so Sophie can learn young about which team to cheer for


I love it - the park and the city in the background.  We love you, Boston!
