MY TRIP TO CHICAGO!

I went to visit Matt in Chicago while he was training for his new job. What a fun place to visit. Here is what I got to do.....

Thursday.... flight arrived at 9:00pm

Friday.... slept till noon while Matt was in his training classes when he got back to the hotel we took the train into downtown Chicago to meet some friends of ours and put in for a drawing to get "Wicked" tickets at $25 a piece... and we all got em. What a sweet broadway play.

Saturday.... took train back into downtown and went and ate lunch up on the 96th floor of the John Hancock Building overlooking Lake Michigan which is a huge lake by the way. They say the best view is from the women's bathroom so off course I had to check it out. In the first picture that is Oprah's condo complex she lives in.. (sorry mom we did not see her but we did walk outside her building)
















Next we went to Navy Pier... (it felt like you were on the ocean it was so big) We took a boat trip that goes up the city river wow those buildings are huge...

















This was a light house off the pier. It was really cool.















We next went to Wrigley Field! Home of the Cubs. They were playing the White Sox and won all three games. It was way cool to just be around the field. We did not go to a game but I would love to try and hit this series next year.
























We really had a nice time in Chicago.

That does look like a great trip! I love big cities. We should definitely do lunch sometime. I am at Trolley, so you name the place and I will be there. Thursdays are about the only day that I can't do it. The jury's still out on the skirt chaser. I will probably wait until after Spudman to decide.

Chicago is awesome! Did you get some Giordano's Pizza? - The thousand-calorie piece of pie!
