Happy Anniversary, Fenway!

Today marks 100 years since the opening of baseball's oldest standing ballpark. Fenway, in Boston is home to the Boston Red Sox, and in my opinion a national treasure. Jose and I were fortunate enough to attend a game here three years ago while in Boston for my brother's wedding, and I have to say it's by far my favorite ballpark I've been to (beating out even Wrigley Field in Chicago, the 2nd oldest ballpark). There is just something so amazing about being in such a historic place, especially in Boston where they take their baseball very, very seriously. From the thick Bostonian accents gently trash talking fans of the opposite team (we were sitting in front of some very drunk, very witty Sox fans, who were able to be loud without being annoying or hostile), to the tradition of singing Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" during the 8th inning (SO GOOD, SO GOOD!), it was a baseball experience I will never forget. Although we are not Red Sox fans, you can't deny the energy here is contagious. Definitely a must for any baseball fan's "Baseball Stadium Bucket List".




In other news, it's hot as hell outside and I love it! I am soooo ready for summer and for our first A's game of the season tomorrow! Happy Friday! xxoo
