Would you believe that a 3 hour drive south would change from this winter wonderland to a NORMAL april day? We left Maine about 45 minutes later than expected because our rental vans were stuck in the snow. Then part of the highway was shut down, so we took a 45 minute detour through the sticks (It actually does get boonier than where I live) Arrival time at the hotel 1:30pm, game time 4:00. One of the vans got lost, because Boston is ridiculous, between 1 ways, rotaries, split level bridges and crazy Masshole drivers, todays driving was an adventure. Met my parents at the hotel and then we departed at about 2:15pm, and what should've been a 20 minute commute...... lets just say we finally showed up at the field at 2:50. It is quite different to have a school, let alone a softball field in the middle of a huge city. Much different than what I'm used to.
Game was a close 3-2 loss, hopefully we fare better today. After the game the team left for a dinner at one of the girls parent's house, and I left with my parents to meet my cousin at the Barking Crab in downtown Boston. Pretty cool little patio seafood restaurant right on Boston Harbor. Parents enjoyed some seafood that you can't really get in Ohio, and gave me the stink eye for ordering a chicken sandwich. I live in Maine..... seafood is pretty easy to come by. Headed back to the hotel, and I must admit, it makes my chest hurt from driving through it but downtown Boston is very pretty at night.
Doubleheader starting at noon today, then back to the hopefully-now-thawed-and-snow-free-frozen tundra.
