Tonight, my family and I went to Memories Studio at Lakewood Mall and we took our family portriats. We took this picture where I dressed up like a guy from the 1920s. It was pretty cool. The pics will come out next friday.

One year ago on May 22, 2008, I went to Fenway Park to watch the Boston Red Sox vs. Kansas City Royals play. I was in town for a college graduation one hour away in Providence. Fenway Park was awesome. We drove there and it was so hard to find parking. No parking structure and all the parking lots were all full. We spent over an hour finding parking before finding one about 4 blocks away. We entered through the Yawkey Way gate.
We got into Fenway in the middle of the second inning, it was 1-0 Kansas City. By the time we settled into our seats in the Right Field Grandstand 2, the bases were loaded and J.D. Drew was batting. He belted a grand slam into the Green Monster giving Red Sox a 4-1 lead. Daisuke "Dice-K" was on the mound and I felt lucky seeing him pitch. The game was a rare day game during the weekdays and the weather was strange. It rained off and on and there were many gray clouds in the sky. We were lucky as our seats were right under the right field roof deck. We did not get wet. Also in this game, Mike Lowell hit a grand slam too in the 6th inning. In the days leading up to the game, I thought Manny Ramirez was going to hit his 500th home run. But he did not and was stuck at 498 home runs.It looked like a blowout but Kansas City rallied back to make it 11-8. We got to see the Red Sox closer, Jonathan Papelbon pitch and earn his 14th save of the 2008 Season. The sun finally came out in the 9th inning. The song "Dirty Water" played after the final out of the Red Sox victory.
Final Out of Red Sox vs. Royals
The best part about going to Fenway Park was in the middle of the 8th inning. The whole Fenway Crowd sang Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline". All of the 37,000 + sang the song. It felt like a family singing the song together. That was really fun. Everytime you watch a Red Sox game, you must have sung Sweet Caroline.
oh The Good times feel so good so good so good... (from Sweet Caroline)
