An Epic Surprise!

For 6 months we kept it a secret that instead of flying into NYC we were really flying into Boston to see a Red Sox game at Fenway.  They didn't figure out the surprise until they announced boarding to Boston on our layover in Chicago.  I thought for sure they would know something was up when we had them wear their Red Sox shirts, and then again at the airport, but nope.  They were completely surprised!

We were really worried about the huge storm moving in.  It showed the storm starting as the game was about to begin.  We were just hoping we could get a couple innings in before a rain delay.  It was absolutely incredible, but the storm was all around the stadium the whole game (we could see lightning in the distance and the dark clouds surrounded the stadium, but over the stadium was fine).  The storm didn't hit until the game was over and the Sox won 10-2.  In Little Guy's words: "Best night ever!" Highlights included singing Sweet Caroline in the middle of the 8th, Story and Duran getting home runs, and watching Brian Bello pitch a complete game.  

And just like that we're in the Amtrak first thing in the morning heading to NYC.  Our time was short but epic in Boston!
