Fenway...Home of the Sox

In the previous post, or the Maine post...not the main post, but the Maine post ....haha.. :) Anyway, I mentioned that I got the opportunity to go to a game at Fenway. Not a bad place for your first Major League Baseball game huh? There is really something quite amazing about how much people love that place. Fenway is just as much part of the Red Sox experience as the actual players are. It is truely quite something the view you get as you walk up the little ramp out of the dark hole to see the bleachers part around you and the field open up infront of you with the Big Green Monstah wrapping around it. I can only image the awe that it would be to a small child there first time in Fenway. It's no wonder that New England lives, breaths and dies Red Sox fans. Those poor kids don't have a chance, it's just in their future to be Sox fans!! I haven't ever really been a HUGE baseball fan, but you just can't help but to be caught up in when you are surrounded by thousands of people that love the game. Thousands of seats that fill up each and every game. Thousands of seats that win or lose, if the Sox are playing at home those seats will have fans in them.

Maine

I got the opportunity this summer to go to Maine...yeah that's right MAINE!! Let me tell you, it was absolutely beautiful back there. It started with a red eye flight out of SLC, we got into Boston at like 8 in the morning. Needless to say, whoever says it's easy to sleep on an airplane doesn't know what they are talking about....or they are a midgit. Anyway, despite the lack of sleep, hanging out all day in Boston was a blast!! We went to Fenway and watched the Sox play. We'll talk more about that later, when I get my lazy bum in gear and get some photos from Fenway posted :) So, after Boston it was on to New Hampshire (Ryan's home state). New Hampshire, although small, is beautiful. There's a HUGE lake near Ryan's house....Lake...Wina something or other...yet another beautiful place. There are just trees and green everywhere. Yeah, we've got nothing compaired to the trees back east.

Day 3 takes us to Maine!!! It was kind of a drive but it was well worth it once we got there. We stayed in a nice little campground right on the Shore of Mt. Desert Island. Talk about gaaa reeeeeen!! There were trees everywhere, and where ever there wasn't a tree there was green moss covering something. Not the gross green gooy moss, but the pretty fuzzy looking moss. We spent almost a week camping and touring all over the little Island. There are tons of rocky shores, beautiful boat harbors, sailboats, and over all just loads of beautiful things to see. Mt. Desert Island is home to Acadia National Park, which is the first National park east of the Mississippi River.

I still have some photos to go through, but I've posted a few that I like. Melissa got after me over the weekend because I've been such a slacker at posting lately. So hopefully this will get me back in the swing of things :)
