Today: From the Greenway to the Green Monster.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]
Our long run for Team in Training was moved to Sunday, so we had a full Saturday to do just about whatever we wanted. Except ride unicorns to the beach, because unicorns don’t exist any more. So we did the next best thing: walk around the city, relax a bit, and head to Fenway to catch a game from the Green Monster.
Though The Rose Kennedy Greenway opened nearly two years ago, and is just down the street, I hadn’t really explored it until this weekend. Nick and I took the T to South Station and walked the mile of interconnected parks to the North End.
The Greenway is a beautiful escape from through the city. An escape where grown men can ride their bicycles through dancing fountains and look surprisingly… normal. Nick and I watched the Rings Fountain, near Milk Street, for the longest time. It’s all the benefits of water therapy, without getting wet. I mean, unless you’re that guy on the bike.
Upon returning to Southie, we brought Clark to check out the 11th Annual South Boston Street Festival. The two bands playing, The Scooby Snax Band and Thomas Park, were really great. We visited a few booths, and delighted to see not only Clark’s vet, but also his fabulous walker. Clark was a happy, happy Frenchie.
…so happy that he needed a nap. While he dreamed of Martha Stewart products, we headed to Fenway Park to check a major “to do” from my 38 while 28 list. We had GREEN MONSTER SEATS! 🙂
If you look closely at that vaguely-green last photo, you’ll see where the red stitching of a home run baseball rubbed off on the wall just behind our seats. Pretty awesome, even if you’re not a Sox fan (may God have mercy on your soul)!
Also On Tap for Today:
- I feel like I have a bit of blogging to catch up on!
- Glee is back 🙂
- Perhaps Clark could have his own webisodes?
How did you go green this weekend?

I’m not a Sox fan… it’d be odd for an italian, BUT. I *love* your pictures! Your dog is the cutest thing and the last picture it is awesome, I can imagine how cool it was 🙂

I like the look of The Greenway. And I would love to ride unicorns to the beach. Pity they do not exist, I agree.
Apart from agreeing about all of the above, I also have to agree that it is good that GLEE is back – magical little show that it is. Funny that it is on here too, because I live a long way from you, but it has just started again over here again in Australia.

Your photos are fabulous. They make me want to be right there with you. I need one of those To Do lists, except that I never get enough time to myself to actually do those things. But, I’m inspired.

It has been years since I have been to Boston, the last time was on a family trip when I was young, I only remember the Cheers Pub and spending hours in the aquarium there!

The dog sign made me laugh, and I loved the tiny little man in your fingers…and the dancing fountains. I’d like to be that grown up playing in the water. Just sometimes. Thanks for bringing some sunshine into my day 🙂 xxx

The park is beautiful and your dog is adorable! And I have to admit to not being a Sox fan, but that’s because I’m from Pittsburgh.

[…] but I did tackle my fear of the dentist. I cleaned out my closet, watched a Sox game from the Green Monster, visited a lighthouse, ran a few races outside of Massachusetts, and went to a water park… […]
