As a Yankees fan, you might think that the idea of a trip to Boston would not interest me unless it was for a brief layover on a trip to New York. But when the opportunity came up for us to visit some friends that were staying in Beantown (which, apparently, is a nickname that only non-natives use), we jumped at the chance. And, at the risk of losing my pinstripes, I’ll admit that we had a really great time.
