Father's Day and Dad's birthday: what more reason does a family need to go to Fenway?
Of course, in this day and age it's never quite that easy without considerable foresight, which we lack. So instead we pulled together two different groups of seats in the bleachers on what might have been one of the hottest, sunniest afternoons of the year. But it was the series in which Manny made his (un-)triumphant return to Beantown in a Dodgers uniform, so it was worth it. And add a walk-off victory by the Sox as a bonus!
After a visit to Grammie and Papa in Boxboro, the whole family met up in Acton for a fantastic lunch and then took the T in from Riverside to Kenmore. Myrick was enthralled. And exhausted. She didn't get into the game as much as the hot dogs, ice cream, ramps around the right-field upper deck, and singing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' during the seventh-inning stretch. Oh, and dancing with Rachel!
