Eating, Baseball and Some fun!

Baseball! Yay! Sam and I spent this last weekend introducing Liem to Sam's family and also going to the Red Sox game!!! It looked bleek to begin with but in the end it was snawesome! So lets start with Friday...

Friday we left to go to Boston around 9 ish, 10 ish I think. We stopped at Starbucks, got some food, and then took the ferry over to Vermont. It was looking a little dark and bleek, but we still forged on. About 4 hours later we got to Boston and right away hit traffic. Around then it was about 3. So then we spent till about 5 getting to the house. Once we got to Sam's aunt's house EVERYONE was showing up. Sam and I didn't know, but there was a get together planned around Liem. It was raining at this time and not to mention we walked into a rhetorical storm. I walked in with my son and within 30 seconds he was taken out of my hands and was being passed around from aunt, to grandma, to great-grandma...plus with the rain we thought the game was going to be cancelled. Too much for me to handle...so I wanted to leave right away. Its not like I don't trust others to hold my little man, it just I feel anxious to not hold him...So we left and decided to go to the movies, and mall, just in case the game was cancelled.

The whole way to the mall we listened to the radio waiting for news on the game. We got to the mall and went to Cheesecake Factory to eat...well it being Friday and a huge mall, it was an hour wait. So we decide to go to this bar across the way with tv's just to check and see if the game was cancelled. After looking at the tv we saw that the game had not been called off yet, and since we drove 6 hours, had someone watching the baby and I had paid so much money for the tickets we decided to RUSH to Fenway and try to go to the game, cancelled or not. We figured if it did get delayed we could just hang out in Fenway. Well we get there at 8:30... and the game was....DELAYED!!!:) Till 8:35!! So we didn't miss a second of it! PLUS no one was there so we sat in probably $2000 seats even though we had standing room because no one wanted to come to a rainy game. It was AMAZING! We sat on the first base side of home plate. We got to see Jeter, Damon, A.Rod, Varitek, etc! It was awesome! We were so happy! We even got to drink 2 beers, and 2 margaritas (beer for Sam, other for me) before they closed the alcohol stands...They stop serving 2 and half hours after the game was schedule to start, since the game started an hour and a half late,we only had an hour. Then the game got rained delayed for about an hour and at about 12, midnight we were watching the scoreboard and all the sudden we saw a sign that said KENMORE STATION LAST TRAIN LEAVES AT 12:10...we came in at Kenmore and we were still sitting there. Needless to say we RAN to the station.

So after all that fun, we took Liem to meet his other great grandma in the morning. After that, a lunch at Cheesecake Factory, which was delicious! And then a quick trip home! Only 4 hours it took to get home. We rent Dexter, the tv show and watched that...All and all a great weekend! Liem slept the whole time in the car...so for him, Awesome.
