Weekend of Boston Firsts

This last weekend (read Friday and Monday...) I had two amazing Boston experiences. On Friday I went down to Cambridge to see the Boston fireworks on the Charles River. There were so many people there and the fireworks were unbelievable. On Monday I went to Boston again to see the Red Sox play the Twins at Fenway Park. It was so great! I never knew which team I should cheer for, however. When you see the pictures - I look like a Red Sox fan but I think I clapped more for the Twins, even though they lost. What can I say - I'm a South Dakota girl through and through. Enjoy the pictures!
