Red Sox on parade

From Dam Cat:

Yes.....we did it!! Me and the Peas made the trek into town for the BIG celebration.

What can I say.......AWESOME!! Front and center on Tremont Street, almost on the curb, 2nd people in. WHOO HOOOOO! Got to see "the dance" up close and personal...WOW!! I don't think you'll see Papi on Dancing with the Stars anytime soon, but no matter. We need him to keep his day job!!

We had a GREAT day. As you can tell we were REALLY, REALLY close. I could see the duck boats coming down the street, so I turned on the camera, and saw what? ... "memory card is full" ... HUHHHH!??! So, the Elder Pea really quickly started deleting stuff (glad we had Nan's b'day pics on the computer already!). And you know what? At that point in time, I couldn't have cared less about the last mantle my husband built...sorry! Off they came. So now I'm thinking I'm golden, right? NOOOOOO. The camera dies. No power. So the boats are coming and I'm turning the camera off and on to get as much juice as possible (hubby was severely scolded later for not charging the damn thing). Anyway, here's what I got. I could have gotten a lot more, but guess I'll have to wait till next year! As the Elder Pea will tell you, the ONLY one that matters is Jacoby Ellsbury. Good thing that one came out or she would never have forgiven me. And bro, I wasn't trying to take a picture of the "furniture guys", that's Manny on the back of the boat (with his back to me). Sorry it isn't better. But I did give him a big yell and a thumbs up. I tried.

Trust me. .... IT WAS GOOD! Well worth the trip!

And here are her photos! PopPop and I watched on TV and looked for DamCat and the Peas, but never did see them. I called the Younger Pea's cellphone to find out where they were, but she didn't have it with her. She told me later she had no idea where they were anyway (but her mom could have told me!). Oh well. They had a great view and a great time, and we got to live the experience vicariously through them!
