Yesterday DawnO and I celebrated our anniversary ‘Boston Style’ and it was wicked awesome. DawnO started off her morning with a phone in radio interview and I got to sleep in a bit. I informed Dawn that her anniversary present is waiting for her when we get home. It’s a Venus fly trap! I know, I know, it’s hard to believe how I came up with a gift that was practical and romantic. (Thanks to Claire for finding it and taking care of it until we get home.)
We eventually got organized and headed to Harvard with both sets of parents. We took a tour of the grounds which were quite lovely. It was interesting to learn about all their traditions, superstitions and history. For example, women didn’t receive the same degree as men until 1999. How do you like them apples?
Afterwards we made our way to Fenway Park to watch the Red Sox take on the NY Yankees. We got there early so we could enjoy our time at Fenway. DawnO got to have her foot long dog (happy anniversary, indeed) and ‘crack beer’ while I enjoyed some park nachos and ‘gluten friendly’ pizza. The game was great, though the Sox ended up losing. The crowd was the most entertaining part for us. I’d tell stories but I’m trying to keep this PG-13.
All-in-all we had a great day. Tonight we’re going to have our official anniversary dinner while our parents go to the ‘Book of Mormon’ musical. I plan on having some New England clam chowdah.
And now for the pictures!
Apparently touching this dude’s foot brings good luck. Immediately afterwards, DawnO lost her subway pass. Good luck? You decide.
The red chair marks the longest home run ever hit at Fenway.
