When Jeannette’s folks came back to Boston from their Bermuda trip, we took a weekend trip out to the Cape and then on to Newport, RI. We had a fun time going out to the tip of the Cape and Josh found a new favorite Cape restaurant, The Paddock. In Newport, we always enjoy the downtown by the waterfront. We had a great time playing cards and hanging out.
Happy Columbus Day!
We took a weekend trip to Maine and New Hampshire with Josh’s folks to do some leaf peeping, antiquing, brewery hunting, and euchre playing. We had such a fun trip and loved exploring NH’s White Mountains – especially Franconia Notch – with them.
We spent our first night in Maine and found plenty of local brews to try while getting in a few rounds of Euchre. It was a great way to end a good day of antiquing and a nice dinner at the Portsmouth Brewery in New Hampshire!
We saw great colors early and often!
Josh found the Yellow Lady and had to try a round at lunch.

We did short hikes to a few pretty falls
The place we stayed had a whole block of houses and a brewery! It was great!

Where the Man in Mountain was before he fell down
We finally found shuffleboard in New England! Though this is all the way in New Hampshire! Girls win!
We finally were able to attend our first Red Sox – Yankees game at Fenway… We got tickets through the lottery… obstructed view tickets! But they were our first obstructed view tickets we’ve ever had at Fenway so it was a little fun, in and of itself.
Jeannette’s folks were in town and since the Sox were playing so poorly we were able to get reasonably priced tickets for them to come too. The game ended up getting postponed due to rain after we waited at the park for 3 or 4 hours without even one pitch being thrown. When we came back for the game the next day, there were so many open seats we were able to all sit together. Our delayed game was the SECOND game of the double header played, and it began late due to the first game going into extra innings. Then our game went into extra innings – so it was a late night! But the Sox won (7-6)!
We had more standing room only tickets to the Friday night Red Sox – White Sox game, but it was postponed to Saturday due to worries about a hurricane. While the hurricane never amounted to anything in Boston, we were really happy because now our tickets for a dreary, cold, drizzly late Friday night game transformed into tickets for a warm and sunny, Saturday afternoon game! No matter that the Sox lost 1-3. More importantly, we didn’t have regular old SRO tickets – we had extra special Budweiser Roof Deck tickets! We had one of the best locations in the park! Though the tickets would have stunk had it been drizzly! We even got a little sunburned!
Our new view!
