Nationals Park, Home of the Nationals

Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger… sorry.  Had to with this stadium.  Anyways, when the 2018 MLB schedule came out and I saw that the Red Sox would be playing the Nationals in Washington DC on the 4th of July… well, I knew we had to make it happen.  And I’m so glad we did!  Not that I’ve ever regretted going on a trip, but this one was truly special, and the Red Sox-Nationals series was a big part of that.

The Red Sox were in town for a 3-game set as part of the inter-league games.  For those who follow baseball in 2022, you might know that they’re changing the schedule next year so that there will be more inter-league games.  On one hand, I’m excited.  There were some instances where the Red Sox would only play at a stadium once every 6 years, so to get to see the Red Sox play at every stadium, which is my pie in the sky goal, you’d have to be pretty patient.  On the other hand, though, that made it special, which this new schedule will get rid of a bit.  But at least I’ll remember how special this series felt, which adds to the memory!

And while we had only planned on going to the Red Sox games, we had a few extra days in town and ended up finding an excuse to go to a couple of other games as well!
