Go Cubs Go!

My sweet hubby had this brilliant idea to go to Chicago for a long weekend, he just had to go to a Cubs game. Me being a White Sox fan, you can imagine my excitement...especially when we got to Chicago and Jason was buying me everything under the sun in Cubs gear! It was a fun trip though, quick, but a lot of fun! I think I ate enough Chicago style pizza to last me a lifetime though! We made our rounds as quickly as we could in Chicago, visiting as much as we could.

Started off with some chocolate!!! Can't go wrong there!

Holy Cow! Then we went for dinner at Harry Carey's, after dinner we walked all over Michigan Avenue getting back to our hotel

Stopped by Buckingham Fountain...it's HUGE!

We even made a friend at the Lincoln Park Zoo :)

Parked outside the Navy Pier...guess this is how they roll in Chicago...however, notice the lil' street tires, they can't even get some good tires for these things!

We had a nice evening dinner cruise, really good food and $12 drinks...it was windy though, we tried so hard to get some good photos with the city in the background but everywhere we went it was super windy and my hair was a mess!

Their hockey team is in the playoffs, the Blackhawks...can you spot the Blackhawk in this photo?!?!

Yes, you are seeing right...we are sitting in a plexiglass box about 103 floors up from the streets of Chicago in the Sears Tower! It was AWESOME!!!

Jason and the Chicago Theater...we just had to go to it!

We made it to Wrigley Field! Harry Carey's statue outside the stadium

Jason was so excited...he has been talking about Wrigley field for as long as we've been together!

It wouldn't be a trip, for me at least, without a photo with a cop car! This guy was super nice though, he showed us a good restaurant to eat at around the ballpark!

WRIGLEY FIELD!

Jim Belushi sang in the 7th inning...again, Jason was super stoked!

We had so much fun but were ready to come home! Cubs won, the family sitting next to us laughed at us shivering, it was 72 degrees at the game, I looked up weather back in Texas and it was 96 degrees...they told us that was a nice day in Chicago, I said, "this is a cold front in Texas..." It is definitely the "windy city" though, my hair was a mess the whole time we were there! It was nice to come back to Texas...of course, once back, our first stop back was Wings...needed to get some of that Chicago out of us!
