Day 6 in Boston

We started off this beautiful day with some breakfast at Bean cafe! We sat outside and I had a cheese and avocado omelette with bacon and John had a sandwich. I also got to feed the birds! :)
Then off to Fenway we went. Time for a tour of the historic- Fenway!
I asked a lady to take a picture of us... after the pictures she started shrieking, "Oh My Gawd, you two look like you are on yar honeymoon.. I swear to Gawd."
View from the top of the Green Monstah!
The guide told us about the history of the red seat... this is how far Ted Williams hit a home run, over 500 feet!!
There were over 50 pictures I took about the history of the Red Sox, but I just tried to capture ones that showed the beauty of the park. It is seriously, the cleanest baseball stadium I've ever been too, and it's 100 years old (Plus I've been to 16 other stadiums, more on that later).Now leaving Fenway!Well, quick stop at another historic piece of Fenway.
The Bleacher Bar is a bar that is in Centerfield! You can watch the game from this bar, without a ticket! Although, when there is a game you can't take pictures~ we stopped by before a game :).
This is so cool. Before the game, this shop places the starting lineup for the Red Sox above their awning!
Off to the "Back Bay" for lunch and some more sightseeing!
From a recommendation, we went to The Salty Pig for lunch.
This was our amazing lunch. Salad, bread with an amazing fig jelly, two kinds of pork and two different cheeses! AHHHHHHMazing! :)
Plus they let you leave a souvenir in the check out book when you leave... so you all know what I left, GO HAWKS!
We started our walk on Newbury Street. Which is comparable to 5th Avenue in New York. Tons of amazing shops, restaurants and scenery. First stop, Charley's Saloon! (Time for a quick beer and to check in on the Olympics).
At the end of Newbury Street, is the Boston Gardens. Beautiful! Here are some of my favorites!
The park was beautiful... and the color combinations are inspiring!We just walked another couple miles... so its time for a late snack/early dinner!
Time to walk a couple more blocks to, Sam LaGrassa's!This time we shared the Cuban and the Pesto Chicken! :) mmmmm
We walked back to the hotel to freshen up (after all, we had just walked 1.9 miles front he start of Newbury Street to our hotel) and of course, had to watch the Olympics before we started our last night in Boston!
Having a cocktail at Our Local, Favorite, The Vintage Lounge!
Having a drink at The Place.
Next, we walked up to the North End to Pizzeria Regina. We only had to wait about 20 minutes, not so bad. The pizza, was, just okay! We liked the pizza better we had a couple days prior. Oh well, we tried it!
Met a new friend Jill, at the corner bar. :) LOVE meeting new people!
We owned Boston :) Last pic on the walk back to "our side" of town. We stopped by Jose McIntyre's to chat with the Iowa waitress and have a drink and then ended back at Vintage Lounge... what a great day! Lots of activities, food, and fun all with my bestie :).
