Chicago

We finally arrived back in Chicago from Milkwaukee after what should have been a 2 hour drive, but instead was 5 hours (an accident shut down the highway in both directions for 2 miles and they directed ALL traffic off the highway and on to rural roads), we were ready to not be in a car for a few days. Thankfully, Karen and Pete live in the city and we could do just that. We had a great time with them eating at their local favorite restaurants and taking in a Cubs game. We even saw some of the annual air and water (just the air part for us though) show from their rooftop. Despite going to Chicago all the time, this was the first time that we got to spend any real, quality time in the city doing city things, living the city life. And it was great fun!

On the pedi-cab going to the Cubs game at Wrigley Field!! We were finally in a place that people didn't chastise us for raising our kids Cubs fans. I know the Cubs have had a rough go for the past 100+ years, but perhaps in Kyle, Emily & Aaron's lifetime, the Cubs will pull one out and our loyal cheering will pay off. Even if not, it's still fun to be a Cubs fan, no matter where we are!
