We pack up and head to 30th street station Jacq booked front seats on the top deck it's only a 4 hour journey this time and we're at DCs beautiful Union station by 4pm. We make tracks on Uber to our Airbnb meeting Robbie and his wife who own the place and another family who are staying - Britton, Beth and their daughter Bella. Nice bunch from Florida on a break themselves - they are really friendly and big into their history. We head out for a bite to eat to a...

Today is Rocky day! The route is planned and we're off around 10am first stop is Front Street where both Adrian's pet shop and Mighty Micks gym are based. We walk there taking about 20 minutes and it's pretty sad when we arrive to see how derelict and run down the whole area is - the shop is boarded up, no hint of the fame it once had, the gym is recognisable by its shape on the corner of the street opposite with the painted boxing gloves still noticeable on the...

Cultural day! We head out on the Girard train with two day passes at $8 each which allows us to access all trains and buses for the day. We've decided to head towards Franklin Square where Ben Franklin's house once stood - all that is left is some encased rubble representing each section of the house but it's worth a look. We move on heading for the home of Betty Ross - this is fab at $7 each you get to tour round her actual house which is really well preserved...

It's an 8-hour drive, we grab a cab to our Airbnb - no one is in so we follow instructions to our room which has a big balcony overlooking a building site :) It's fine - place could do with a clean but the location is ideal. We head to the family dollar for basic groceries and chill - gonna be fun tomorrow!

Delicate is an understatement - we take it easy and Jacq researches tickets for the Red Sox - they're $38 each direct but she finds a site called vivid seats and gets great tickets at $18 each - typical Jacq! At 3pm we grab a subway to Fenway Park - our seats are awesome right by the pitch. We of course grab two hotdogs and cokes (compulsory) and praise the weather - it was touch and go and our seats do not have cover but we're good! So - an hour into the game w...
