Excursions and two million views!

Just a short time ago, this blog hit the one million mark for views on it. Well, we shot right past the two million views mark recently, so thanks to all for paying attention! 

Summer is a good time for excursions, and two recent ones proved so much fun.

First, we toured Fenway Park, the oldest baseball stadium in the country. Here's Mick Miller on the approach.


And inside, looking for a new ride...


What a lovely tour with our guide Ellie, who took us all around. 

Here's a shady seat spot, with the last of the old wooden seats in the park. 


Here's the view of right field, with the stage set up for a concert.


Here's left field, another awesome view:


And how it looks from atop the Green Monster:



And we got to sit in the writer's room, with a panoramic view:


They can open the windows during a game, but have to watch out for foul balls! There's a big ceiling dent from one shot.

Highly recommended for Red Sox fans. Lots of lore, and plenty of memories. 


Our next visit was the Shaker Museum in Enfield, NH. A lot of history there about a community that thrived in the 1800's. Beautiful spot by a lake. Lovely stone buildings, and plenty of history.




Finished off with a visit to the original Vermont Country Store for souvenirs and a trip down memory lane. 

How's your Summer going? Any good trips?
