All I can say is, Oh my gosh. LJ and I walked there from the hotel (not far - a mile or so), and it was like the city shut down - -like an Alabama football game or something. They close off streets just for vendors and pedestrians, and this happens every home game. It's crazy.
It was about 95 degrees tonight, and where we sit ( I can't even imagine what our tickets would cost on the street), there is NO air circulation. Lj's little cheeks were pink by our arrival, but got more pink by the minute.
Eventually it got to be too much so we found our way to the concourse where LJ could run. We spend the bulk of the game there, running up and down and even ate an ice cream until it was a puddle of milk. It was great. Between dodging the crowds, finding customer relations to leave our stroller, chasing LJ through the stadium, it was a busy night, but TOTALLY worth it. Lance's first day at Fenway was our first day, too - what an amazing day.
Tomorrow, the game starts at 7, so we won't be going. It's just too late for LJ. We did stop on the way home at a McDonalds, though -- we were passing and LJ said, "eat!" How's that for a one and a half year-old recognizing a marketing icon? He was SO good all night, and I'm so proud he's mine. If, for some reason, he sleeps till 8 tomorrow, we may go to the game just hoping for a repeat! Betting he doesn't, though, so we're planning on watching from the hotel - I feel so lucky that we got to experience that energy in person. I can't imagine playing in an environment like that all the time - it would be exhausting, I think.
Well, I'm making my way to bed. I took some more pics today, though not as many as I'd like. Lj is just too quick to run away when I pull that camera out, and I had to keep my eye on him. I did get a picture of him with his souvenier, though -- a little wooden Red Sox bat. He loves it so much and swings like crazy -- I'm shocked he didn't take out a shin in those crowds tonight!
Goodnight -- I hope today was good for you, if not memorable like ours!
Love,
Jamie
