The Belle of Boston: Boston Proud

Boston Proud

I follow the Red Sox on Facebook. I love whenever they post pics- especially of the world series and the celebratory parade. My favorite pic was when they took back the Boston Marathon finish line.

If that is not heartwarming, I don't know what is. Boston Strong. Boston Proud.

Today I saw an article on Sport's Illustrated, and it once again warmed my heart and spoke of Boston Strong. Boston Proud.

They had the 3 brave police officers from the marathon bombing cover come back and pose with David Ortiz in Fenway:

This is what is so amazing about Boston. They earned the right to celebrate the Red Sox awesome victory. But, no. They chose to honor the victims and heroes of the bombing.

Boston is more than a city, it's a family. Do I really need to explain further? I think these photos speak volumes!

BOSTON STRONG. BOSTON PROUD.

I have always been a fan of history and baseball, so naturally I was drawn to Boston. My husband and I first went to Boston in April of 2010. I immediately fell in love. Growing up in Texas, it is basically blasphemy to love any place, other than Texas. But I couldn't help myself. I was in love. I also swore off my allegiance to my Texas teams and became a faithful fan of the Red Sox, (and of course the other Boston teams have my allegiance too, but I am first and foremost a baseball fan). That first Boston visit, we went to the opening series of 2010- Sox vs the Yankees! Walking into Fenway park on a beautiful April day to see the greatest rivalry in sports- well, it was nothing short of magical! I was now forever in love with the Red Sox and Fenway Park!

Despite my dreaming and planning, I was not able to return to Boston until May 2013. My daughter Annie and a friend of mine joined me for a girl's weekend. I thought it would satisfy my hunger for Boston, but all it did was make me fall in love even more. Since I can't move to Boston, (much to my dismay), I plan to visit there quite often. Here you will find posts concerning what I discovered about Boston on my first two trips there, and what I plan to do on my future trips. :) Think of it as a visitor's guide and an enthusiasts ode to Boston. :)
