Living Your Dream

Convincing your twin sister to help you talk your parents into taking a summer vacation to Boston. Zero dollars.

Convincing your dad that you are only ten once and it would be a dream come true to see the Red Sox play. Approximately four months worth of talking but, zero dollars.

Airfare to Boston: 1200.00.

Hotels in Boston: 1200.00.

Food in Boston: 500.00.

Tickets to see the Red Sox:
So absurdly expensive that it may cause your mother to choke.

Entering Fenway for the first time: A dream come true.


Finding your seat: A feeling like no other.

Hearing thunder and feeling raindrops: sickness enters your stomach.

The biggest night of your life getting rained out: heartbreak in its truest form.


Your dad saving the day by getting tickets for Saturday night's game:
Whew, you can breathe again.




Walking into Fenway the next night: unbelievable.

Seeing the "Green Monstah": exciting enough to make a kid cry.


Watching your hero, Jason Varitek warm up: thrilling.


Digging in to a Fenway Frank: simply. the. best.

Cheering your heart out when Pedroia (the Destroyah) hits a home run:

A moment you will never forget.

Singing "Sweet Caroline" with 36,000 of your closest friends: Sweeeet!
(see below)

Living your dream to experience Red Sox Nation..........
Absolutely 100% PRICELESS.
