Let's go Red Sox !

4th of July dawned warm and muggy. With great antipaction we made our way to the hallowed grounds of Fenway Park, the oldest ball park in America at 99 years of age. We had amazing seats- 4 rows up from the on deck circle for the Red Sox. Day was hotter than hades but we did our best to keep cool with a few beers along the way. As it was the 4th of July, there was a distinct military flavour throughout. A young naval rating threw the first pitch, the marine choir sang the national anthems and a fly over by air force jets started the game. Sadly we lost the game but it was a fantastic day all round. Back tonight for another try though.

  Some opening events!
