Wrigley Field Chicago

What a great place! From the atmosphere outside of the ballpark to our front row seats in the Wrigley Field bleachers down the left field line. Robbie Gould of the Chicago Bears sang "Take Me Out To The Ballgame." Unfortunately the Phillies beat the Cubs 9-2. The Cubs bullpen was absolutely awful. The only runs that the Cubs scored was a two-run …

Report back Day 9...........Chicago....... 9 August 2012 Dear Fearless Leader, Headed out early for a walk around the city and the Architecture boat cruise. Unbelievable buildings in this place post the fire that started in old Mrs Leary's shed. I think a Squirrel had something to do with it. Hit the Magnificent Mile and mentally spent huge amount …

Chicago was the first large city we've run across on the trip, and I was excited to visit and check out its features -- although I was initially alone in feeling that way. Kat had no interest in going into big cities, and Wren was indifferent. But after our visit, I can safely say that we all had fun.

The campground we stayed at had a …

Woke up this morning with a bad back - sleeping on too soft a bed. Today we are heading out for a boat ride on the lake where we get to see Trump Tower, Sears Tower, the Chicago Tribune building, NBC studios (home of The Jerry Springer show). Our tour guide on the boat was really funny but sadly couldn't convince us to stay outside when the heavens …

Today we go off to the ball park...famous Wrigley Field. The Cubs v Marlins. TJ is a huge White Sox fan so he really does not care too much about this game but the Sox are out of town so the Cubs game it is. The Cubs are currently the worst team in American Baseball but the crowd is still huge....over 32,700 turn up and the famous old ground has a …

We began Day 5 with a two hour drive to Chicago. Our first stop was Wrigley Field. The Cubs weren't in town that day, but the boys wanted to see the "Friendly Confines". First we stopped at Bacci’s Pizza. Those may be the biggest slices I’ve ever seen. The place itself looked like it may have been under renovation and the bathrooms …

I flew into Chicago on Sunday the 28th. I got here pretty late after my plane got delayed almost 4 hours. I had spent an entire day traveling and wanted to go to bed as soon as I got here to try and keep my sleeping pattern in tact so I was pretty disapointed I had done nothing interesting.
The next morning I woke up bright an early, so around …

Mike and I spent our first half of our marriage trying to sell our first home...it was a NIGHTMARE! But after lots of showings, open houses, bad offers, and one okay one we were on our way to move number 3...building! While the new home was underway, we stayed with Mike's parents to save every penny for the move. So, celebrating our 1 year …

G'day Folks
Amazingly enough the party animals upstairs were quiet on Saturday night, not home on Sunday at 11am when I left the house maybe?
Anyway, Sammy and I went into town to go on the …
