We left town at about 9AM and took the train from Riverside straight into Boston. We got there in time to get tickets, see some guy get knocked out, eat a fully loaded sausage and make it to our seat in the top of the 1st inning. Our seats were about 25-30 rows behind home plate and in the shade! We really couldn't have asked for better seats! The last time Micah and I went to Fenway, we had similar seats just over to the right a bit more. That was also the first time Micah said he loved me. Yeah, that's where you say, ah, how romantic!
Here are some photos I took from our seats. Tell me whatcha think....
Red Sox infield and the packed stands
Big Papi taking a swing
Jacoby Ellsbury at his best getting ready to steal second base
Although the Sox did not come away with a win, it was still very nice to be there and enjoy the weather. After the game, we walked to the Prudential Center, got ice cream and walked around for a bit. Then we walked to the Charles River where the fireworks were being shot off. On our way back, we took a seat in the park and talked for a while. Now being hungry, we finished our walk back to the Prudential center where we ate at California Pizza Kitchen (highly recommended).
After dinner, Micah bought me flowers, a bouquet of Pink carnations!! They were beautiful. We then started our walk to Cambridge to where we were going to watch the fireworks. We walked over the long bridge, saw a number of boats in the river, and many, MANY people awaiting the fireworks. The skyline at night there is absolutely gorgeous.

Here is a picture I got of the Prudential Center with the moon. It was just starting to get dark.
This is what I get for asking a guy to take our picture! Its not bad, but it's not what I wanted. Guess it didn't come too bad. I'm thinking I should retire that Red Sox shirt until I have the baby!!!!
We had a while to wait for the fireworks to start at 10:30 so we had plenty of time to walk around and find the perfect place to sit. We did a lot of walking throughout the whole day so my feet, back and right hip were starting to hurt. While I sat and relaxed, Micah went for a walk to find a better seat. He had found a seat on the steps right in front of MIT next to this little old lady. She was very sweet and saved the seats while Micah came back and got me.
The fireworks started at about 10:40 and we had great seats! Of course they were loud and our baby girl was wide awake and moving around!!
Here are just a few of the fireworks.....
As the fireworks were shooting off and Micah and I were having a great time enjoying spending time together, he whispered in my ear, "I love you" and then said he had to ask me a question....I was totally confused and had no idea what he wanted to ask. Then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!!!!! I of course could not hold back the tears.....when I finally controlled the tears, I said YES! He put the ring on and it sparkled and shined and fit perfect!
Here's the beauty!!!
It turned out to be the most PERFECT day/night. I could not have asked for a better way to get engaged! Red Sox game, dinner, fireworks, proposal and spending the day with the love of your life......priceless!!!
Thank you Micah for the most wonderful day ever! I love you very much and can't wait to start our life and family together!!!
