Spamalot and Boston Day 3 (Red Sox game!)

We saw Spamalot Thursday at the Majestic Theater downtown. We don't venture downtown if we can help it, but I really didn't mind, we found decent parking and made it to the show on time. What more can you ask for?

Well, I'll tell you. You can ask for a super cool theater, which we got. The Majestic is really an awesome atmosphere, much better than the old theater we saw Eddie in last week in Austin. Its really big, and really interesting inside. I can't imagine what it was like to see a movie there! I want to see more shows there (Avenue Q in October, and Wicked next summer for sure).

What else can you ask for?

Well, an awesome show would be nice. Ding ding ding, you are a winner! Spamalot was hilarious, even better than I expected. I looooved it, even though we were up so high I couldn't see the actor's expressions very well and every once in a while I missed a piece of dialogue. It was really funny, really really funny. They also did a nice job integrating a few local things in to the show (there's no basement in the Alamo, you know). I wish we had the money to see it again before their last show on Sunday, if we could even find tickets.

So, I finally got the Red Sox pics uploaded. How much fun was that? This has been such an entertaining month! I wish every month was like this! The game was great, albeit cold. We thought we might get a rain out, figures, it was sunny all week and then time for our game - rain. If it weren't for bad luck we wouldn't have any luck at all, right? Well it drizzled through the game, sort of a misty wet haze, and it was about 50. I was cold. I am always cold since surgery, but I was a shivery mess. My sweet husband went and bought me a blanket, even though we'd forked up a lot of dough on souvenirs from Fenway during the tour the day before.

The atmosphere at Fenway is awesome! Everyone is all squished together having fun and just happy to be there (thank goodness for big warm men on both sides of me and the biggest noggin on earth belonging to the man in front of me, he was my wind break, and I couldn't see much without some positional adjustments). Our seats were awesome, right behind home plate so you could see each pitch. Unfortunately, the netting made taking pictures a little less fun and a lot more complicated (manual focus, its not hard but it takes a lot of time when you are trying to capture action in a game). I did get some good shots though, and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. My husband was like a little kid, he was so thrilled. That was the best part of the entire trip, seeing him so happy.

So here's the photographic evidence (at least a small sample)



























Go Red Sox!
