SteveTim,
What games do you plan on attending? My wife and I will be there on the 19th for the night game, it will be her first game at Fenway.
I'm not sure if it has been mentioned, but Faneuil Hall is a great place to visit and it is right on the same T route as Fenway. Just take the green line to the end and you will come out there. Lots of cool little shops for you and your wife to check out as well as other sites. Then when your done, just hop back on the T and in a few stops your back at Fewnway.
May I also recommend to NOT listen to Yankee fans and to join Red Sox Nation. For $15 you get a tour of Fenway for 2, the ability to watch batting practice from the Green Monster and early admission to the park on game day. To me, watching bp from the Monster is worth $15, the tour is a bonus. And you can bring your wife with you at no additional cost. You can only do one tour, but can watch bp both games and get early admission. I think it would enhance your experience at the games.
Who knows, you may run into me and my wife there on the 19th.
**Edited to add**
If you do decide to join Red Sox Nation, go around back to Gate C to get in early. Once inside, about 2 hours before game start, if you walk around to Yawkey Way side there is a little ramp called "Autograph Alley". They always have a former player or coach signing autographs for free before the game. I have got a few cool free autographs there each time I went. Right directly across the street is the Red Sox pro shop which has some expenisive and cool Sox stuff in there.
