Dennis and Callaghan on WEEI this morning...

INot that I will miss Dennis and Callaghan...
But they had former New England Patriots Wide Receiver, Wes Welker on their program this morning as a guest.  They must be reading my blog.  Their question to Welker was, "What will you miss about Boston?"
His response was the atmosphere... 
I would agree.  The atmosphere of a city so rich in history and tradition.  The atmosphere of a region so passionate about their sports teams.  Last night, I was in Boston with my two oldest boys and Kyle Nelson for the Red Sox game.  We got into the city early because Gibson wanted to see the Old North Church and Paul Revere's House.  So, we walked through the North End.  Gibson asked why everything seemed to be Italian there... and arrived at the scene of the Old North Church.  It's tucked back along one of the narrow North End streets, the spire stretches into the sky where on April 18th, 1775, the Signal Lanterns of Paul Revere warned of the march of the British troops to Lexington and Concord. 
Then we followed the Red and Brick line of the Freedom Trail for a spell arriving at Paul Revere Mall which showcases a statue of Paul Revere on horseback sporting a 617 Boston Strong Bruins "Jersey."

Then, we made our way back to Fenway.  The Sox game at Fenway started at 7:10pm and the Bruins dropped the puck at TD Garden at 8pm.  The city was abuzz with the Stanley Cup fever with Bruins jerseys everywhere.  Oh, and the Red Sox were playing, too. 
A GREAT night in the City...  In spite of both home teams posting losses.
