Philadelphia, PA (Part II) - Let's Go Red Sox!

After several days in Maryland, we trekked back to Philadelphia to watch a couple of Red Sox games. Two resounding, glorious victories against the Phillies.

Most excitingly of all, I got Kevin Millar's autograph! What's most sad about this is that I could have gotten Bronson Arroyo's autograph the day before, because he was signing for a really long time. I think this was my only regret of the entire road trip -- not running down there and shoving my way into the crowd that day. No offense to Kevin Millar, but Bronson Arroyo is my most favoritest player in the world -- you should check out his CD (Covering the Bases)!

We also tried our first authentic Philly cheesesteak sandwiches at Jim's, and walked around the historic parts of the city. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the Liberty Bell due to the excessive security around the place, but we settled for some pictures by Independence Hall:

And a brief visit to the Mint:


Part II is not without its own catastrophes, however:

  • We forgot Chris's wallet.
  • We accidentally reserved our hotel room for the wrong month and had to drive all the way to Delaware to find a place to stay.
  • We broke the car.
