Red Sox

My husband and I had one of the coolest experiences ever last night. We won tickets to see the Red Sox, but these weren't just any tickets. We got to Fenway at 4:30 at which point we were given gloves and taken outside to watch batting practice.

A bunch of balls were getting hit to where we were standing. At one point a ball came really close to my husband so Josh Beckett walked over and said "what's up" to us and threw the ball to him.

A little while later someone hit the ball and as it was rolling toward us I "caught" it in my glove. My husband joked that he was ready to jump in front of me so he could be the one to catch it. Since we already had a ball, I gave that one away.

Then they took us on a tour and we learned all sorts of fun trivia.

After the tour, they took us to eat dinner - free lobster rolls, hot dogs, drinks, snacks... and of course, we also got to watch the game.

My husband joked that it was like winning the golden ticket. So much fun!
