Fenway, the Fourth, and the Fittses

The view from the Upper Bleacher seats at Fenway, on Friday, July 1. Right underneath the scoreboard.

We opened our Fourth of July weekend with a trip to Boston to enjoy a little baseball. Armed with Italian sausages and sodas, we treked all the way up to the Upper Bleacher seats, where Roger had sat just two days before with our friend Jim Fitts (they won that game and we were hoping for a repeat performance). The view was great - the score was not so much. Toronto beat Boston on Canada Day, 15-2. That Ted Lilly can pitch.

After our post-game walk up to Cambridge via Mass Ave, we retired to our room at the Hotel@Mit.


Hotel@MIT. Pretty nice digs, including free WiFi, and at a great price - Roger scored us a good deal via Priceline.

The room and its bedding inspired me to go shopping for a light summer blanket later that weekend.

After brunch at S&S Deli, we drove back up to Vermont with plans to attend an all-house staff BBQ in White River later that evening.

Although we were only planning to stay at the BBQ for an hour, we ended staying for 3 or 4 hours. We saw a lot of people from the DHMC Partners Orientation, which was really cool. And our friends Jim and Sherry Fitts were there, with their twin girls, Ava and Emily.

Roger was on call Sunday, but we met up with the Fittses again on Monday for a parade in Hanover, and small town festivities on the Dartmouth Green.

Monday night, Roger and I grabbed some chips and sodas and trekked out to the Wilder Dam to watch the fireworks with the good people of White River J. I'll post Roger's pictures of the fireworks in a different post.

It was a great weekend overall - lots of fun and sunshine and friends.
