We woke up early on Friday morning so we could make one of the first Fenway tours. We met at the store across the street from the ball park and enjoyed getting to know our great tour guide. He took us all through the stadium and in honor of our anniversary date, I grabbed this picture of the back of one of the seats.
Then we headed into the press box since there wasn't a home game and listened to great stories about the park and players of years past. The picture below from inside the press box shows the red seat in the right field bleachers that commemorates the longest homerun ever hit into the Fenway bleachers...a homerun hit by the great Ted Williams.
Our brilliant attempt at a self-portrait :)
After leaving Fenway, we took the T back towards our hotel. Our bags were there and we had a little time to grab lunch before we needed to catch our bus to the Martha's Vineyard ferry. We grabbed a quick and tasty bite at Haru which was a fabulous Asian fusion restaurant we stumbled onto.
After lunch, we grabbed our bags and caught our bus to catch the ferry....wheew! It was a short and windy ferry ride to Martha's Vineyard and we decided to enjoy the fresh air and the view from the front of the boat.
SO much beautiful blue!!
I grabbed this one as we were pulling into the island. I thought it looked like a postcard...
We got checked into our adorable Inn and even upgraded to a suite for our anniversary. We walked down to the water and grabbed a few drinks and a quick appetizer to tide us over until dinner. We walked through Edgartown a little before getting unpacked and ready for the night. We went to a great restaurant a couple blocks away and cozied up in the lounge upstairs. We shared a bag of fried oysters and an order of truffle risotto balls....they turned out to make up our second favorite meal of our entire trip! We talked all night and enjoyed the laid back island crowd and great food and drinks.
