Day 13 - Sam Adams and Fenway

-

Yesterday we were super lazy....we didn't leave the hotel until about lunchtime.  We didn't have huge plans for day, so we just decided to take our time.  We ended up going over to take tour of the Sam Adams brewery.  It was pretty neat.  


They let you taste barley and actually examine hops.  After the tour we headed toward Fenway Park.  The plan was to have a big lunch, that way we wouldn't have to eat a lot at the game.  I had read really good things about Boston Beerworks.  And I was pretty disappointed.  I knew it was going to be bar food, but it was very mediocre bar food.  I wouldn't recommend it and I def. wouldn't go back.  The gates opened to the game at 5:40, so we went in as soon as the gates opened.  Since we got in early we were able to watch the Cubs take batting practice.  We had a hard time finding tickets and just bought the cheapest and basically only thing we could find, which were in the bleachers.  But they aren't actual bleachers, they are were real seats, which was nice.  But it sure was crowded.  Not quite sure why, but apparently the Red Sox vs. Cubs face off was a pretty big deal.   The Cubs pitcher almost threw a no hitter.  It was the bottom of the 8th with 2 strikes and 2 outs, before anyone got a hit on him.  But Daniel was pretty excited to watch the Cubs win 2-0.  And I was pretty excited that the stadium served Coke and not Pepsi.  It should be an American Law that all baseball stadiums serve Coke.






For some reason my fitbit app on my phone isn't working this morning...but here is my weekly update from last Wednesday to yesterday.



Oh and just watched the news to hear that there is the potential for a  Category 1 Hurricane headed toward Cape Hatteras for Friday.  Just when we are suppose to be there, and staying right in the middle of Cape Hatteras.  The plan is to watch the weather and make a decision about what to do.  We have only paid a deposit for one night...so we could potentially still cancel.

DFT25 - Montana

  DFT25 officially began last Saturday. This is a bit of a different trip than we are used to. Since Daniel was officially named the Head Football Coach we didn’t think we had the time to drive like we normally would. So we FLEW! And instead of camping we are staying in AirBNBs.   This is how you know I don’t fly often. It had been a few weeks since I had looked at our flight. Daniel had asked me the weekend before if I thought we should drive to Nashville and grab a cheap hotel room on Friday evening and I said No I didn’t want to do that. But on Friday I had myself convinced that our flight was at 11:50am and that we would be late to the airport. So I decided we did indeed need to go Friday night. I hurried and finished packing and we got on the road to Nashville. At the 407 exit I decided to check my email again. Apparently our flight was at 1:50. I had 11:50 in my mind because that’s what time we needed to be at the airport. I also decided to start the check in process in ...

DFT25 - Glacier part 2

 Saturday was reserved for spending time in the St. Mary and Many Glacier area of the park. We started the day driving across the Going to the Sun road. Stopped at the visitors center in St. Mary and watched the video on the park. Then we had lunch at Johnsons. It was part of the main reason I wanted to go to that side of the park. When Daniel and I were there in 2016 we had their famous Huckleberry Ice Cream pie and were so excited for the girls to have it. Unfortunately they weren’t serving dessert at lunch ☹️. But we did have a huckleberry cream fizz and huckleberry lemonade to drink 🤷🏻‍♀️ Then we drove on up to Many Glacier. Several of the trails are closed due to snow and bear activity. We walked as far around the lake as we could go before we had to turn around. We did finally have our family picture made in front of the sign! Then for dinner we stopped at the Sunflower Cafe for BBQ and it was sooooo good! I’ve figured out that most of the restaurants are tied to a resort o...

DFT 25 - Montana - Glacier NP

Glacier now has a timed entry system. And the pass go up for sale 90 days before your trip or at 7pm the night before you want to enter. 3 months ago I was able to get a permit for all our days but not always the earliest times. So we have had to plan around what time we can get into the park.   Wednesday we didn’t have a pass until 1pm. So we started the morning on the Northwest Side at the place called Polebridge. We were able to visit the Mercantile and get a famous Huckleberry Bear Claw. The Polebridge Mercantile had been in business since….and is one of the most iconic buildings in Montana. We hiked the Covey Meadow Loop in the North Fork Area of the park. Then headed back down for our 1pm park entry to the Going to the Sun Road. We drove all the way up to Logan Pass. EG kept saying she didn’t think it was real and she was actual seeing a projection 😂. When we came back down we stopped to let the girls swim in Lake McDonald. Then we had dinner and ice cream in Apgar Village...
