Boston over the 4th...


We have a great group going to Boston for a few days over the 4th of July. Plans have been finalized and details are being taken care of. We'll walk the Freedom Trail...see 'Old Ironsides' in the harbor...celebrate our nation's independence with half a million others while listening to the Boston Pops concert along the Charles River....travel to Cape Cod...see the Kennedy Center....tour Fenway Park...and much more.

travel-ography.com in Boston will be a blast.

This would be as good a time as any to share my ball park photograph I took when Linda and I were in Fenway Park.




Fenway Park in Boston



It's the only park that I couldn't take a photograph from behind home plate because all the seats back there were enclosed and very exclusive. So....we captured this park from the outfield. Still a pretty cool shot.

The night we were there, the Red Sox played the Atlanta Braves in what proved to be an exciting contest. We saw Rafael Furcal break his leg sliding into 2nd base....a home run sail over the 'green monster'....and a fan get escorted out of the stadium for trying to climb 'Pesky's Pole'.

Oh, by the way, the game even went extra innings....how's that for excitement.




Turner Field in Atlanta.

Might as well show you the shot I took of Turner Field in Atlanta, since we were talking about the Braves. This was another beautiful ball park...but what we remember most was the circus like atmosphere all around the field. There were bands playing and lots of games for both the young and old to engage in. It was like a real southern style family reunion. Lot's of fun.
