Ah, Massachusetts! The Spirt of America! I’ve been there many times when I was growing up and even going back to show my own family. There’s so much to see and do! And the Party Bus had a day to pack it in! Let me tell you, SandraLynn   fit right in driving the Party Bus like a crazy Boston driver through all the rotaries. We started the day out with pastries from Mike’s pastries. Nothing like a sugar bomb packed cannoli to get the day started. Me, Krista  ,AmyJo-July 2/3s done   ,and Princess Megan Rose  indulged and were wired for hours. Then we walked the Freedom Trail. There are many historical sites dating back to Revolutionary times. WakeUpAndLive  and Sung'manitu  spent their time lingering on the USS Constitution. We walked past Faneuil Hall, a meeting place during the revolution, but now it’s a shopping place with several restaurants. We passed Paul Revere’s house which has retained it’s classic colonial façade. WakeUpAndLive takes more pictures than Krista does! The Red Sox game starts at 4 tonight. Fenway Park is the oldest baseball park in major league baseball. My first time there, I was in middle school and I won an opportunity to tour the park through one of the giveaways at the local Stop and Shop stores. It has changed since then – gotten a heavy facelift, and yet still retains its iconic structure. There’s Pesky’s pole, and the Green Monster where seats are $50.00 each to sit in, though you have to bid for them in a lottery. Fenway was built in the outskirts of Boston at the time, in a swampy like area, but since, the city of Boston has grown around it. SandraLynn gets some peanuts for the game. Everyone gets a Fenway Frank except Jellyfish . Our heroes, the Red Sox, are dialed in. Come the 8th inning, the whole stadium pauses to sing “Sweet Caroline.” A lump forms in my throat as I appreciate the opportunity to watch the game surrounded by friends. The Red Sox are MY FAVORITE baseball team, even here in LA, they are #1 to me. Here's a story I wrote inspired by their 2004 World Series win:
