Let's Go Red Sox!

This past weekend two very good friends came to visit. Kristen and Jonathan Goldberg traveled from Minnesota for the weekend. It was so great to spend them with them and catch up. On Saturday, we went to Camden Yards to see the Baltimore Orioles take on the Boston Red Sox. During series with the Sox, Camden Yards turns in to Fenway South. It ballpark was full of Red Sox fans and truly feels like a home game for the BoSox.

Micah's dad was able to get us great seats about 20 rows up from the field behind home plate. Kristen and I couldn't leave the field with out enjoying a Esskay hot dog. They were good, but nothing really beats a Fenway Frank!!

The Sox played a great game and we almost saw Josh Beckett pitch a complete game. He got the Sox to 2-outs in the 9th when they finally took him out of the game.

After the game we headed over to Rocket to Venus, a new retro bar in Hampden. (Hampden is a blue-collar neighborhood that is really coming-of-age. Imagine the row hoses in Hairspray.) I'd heard great things about the menu, which was impressive, but the services was horrible! They were short staffed and completed messed up my entree. (However they did comp the meal.) I'd probably give it another try, but the food was that good to make up for the bad service.
