Monday, May 26Happy Birthday, Julie!!! The party photos were great!!
We forgot to mention that if you want to enlarge the photos just click the mouse on them. Also, we've added a new feature! If you hover your mouse over certain pictures, a caption will appear. (Thanks Allison!)
Today we woke up to a hot, sunny, breezy day. Perfect for a ball game.
Rodney and I walked over to Lake Michigan and the loop area after breakfast. We saw the Sears Tower (from a block or so away) and Millenium garden. Again, lots of great statues, fountains and architecture.
We took the subway over to Wrigley Field. What a hoot- the ballpark is in the middle, I mean the middle, of a neighborhood. Many of the surrounding homes have built bleachers on their roofs and sell tickets for people to watch the game. It is a very congested and somewhat frantic area.
Did I mention that the White Sox fans are enthusiastic? The Cubs fans are rabid!!! The place was full (over 41,000) and full of energy. The game was very exciting, we have been treated to great pitching, defense and offense at every game we’ve been to. The Cubs got two home runs and ended up winning 3-1. We are Dodgers fans and silently cheered for them, it may have been dangerous to do otherwise. Brian did wear his Dodgers shirt, brave guy!!
The subway back downtown was pretty busy and crazy.

We went to the original Pizzeria Uno for dinner. It is just two blocks from our place. Delicious Chicago style pizza and wings, entertaining waiter who was a rabid White Sox fan.
On to Cleveland!!
