It's Coming!

Summer 2010!

So, summer is my favorite time of the year and I am excited that it is just around the corner! We don't have a lot of set plans, yet (my wonderful husband considers “plan” a bad 4 letter word. Ha!). But, we have set plans to meet up with one my best friends, Tara, and her family in Yellowstone in August. I'm so looking forward to that! I think we're going to make a week of it and stay up in that area for a week and do some hiking and camping and just relaxing.

Then there's the standard summer fun like barbeques, hiking, fishing, etc. Ryan got a new grill and now that we have a patio and nicely finished yard it will be fun to have people over for get togethers just hanging out in the fun summer weather. I would love to do more hiking too. And of course, there will be fishing, lots of fishing I'm sure. I'm looking forward to going to the park on Sunday afternoons and tossing around a frisbee or softball. I'm looking forward to eating dinner outside on our new patio dining set. I'm looking forward to picking fresh vegetables out of our garden. I'm looking forward to planting pretty flowers. I'm looking forward to sitting outside in the sun reading a book on my Fridays off. It's almost like the options in summer are endless. I could take the dogs for a walk. Go for a bike ride. Go for a motorcycle ride. Anything!

This will be the best summer yet!

Boston!

So, I realized that I never posted anything about my trip to Boston at the end of September. Well, I had a chance to go to Boston to see a Red Sox game, which was amazing! I've wanted to go to Fenway for a few years now and finally got the chance. I had two vacation days left, which made this one heck of a whirlwind trip. I flew out on a red-eye flight to Boston arriving at 5:00am.

Experienced a day of just hanging out in Boston before heading over to the ballpark at about 5:00 to purchase some tickets. Now, that was a crazy experience! But, we got our tickets for some amazing seats! We hung out outside the ballpark for a while as part of the festivities, then headed inside.

So, there is nothing like your first time at Fenway! Loved it! Our seats were Club Level, so we got about as close to the Green Monster as one can get without having tickets to actually sit atop it.

Another perk of these club level seats was the server that comes and takes your order, so you never have to get up or miss any of the game to get concessions. Oh, yeah, and if you order beer, they bring it in a cup with a lid. I guess so they don't spill it on the way to your seats.

It was such a fun trip! Yes, despite being so quick with little sleep and the chaos of getting back home, but that is another story for another day. :)
