My Kind of Town...

So, my parents joined Michael and I for a two-night trip to Chicago. They have been wanting to go for quite a while, given that their only previous visit was several years back for a Spring Break trip. The highlight was meant to be the Museum of Science and Industry, but we kids were more into the hotel pool....which was the case on most family vacations growing up.

Anyway, we made it to an amazing Cubs game at Wrigley (my first night game...loved it!). The Cubs had several players who hit homeruns, and we also got to see Derek Lee hit a grand slam, which was amazingly fun! In addition to the game, we did the architectural boat tour, at some original Chicago deep-dish pizza at Gino's, and made a repeat trip to Harry Caray's steakhouse for dinner....yes, we ate a lot. See for yourself...

Seriously, it was good...

Notice the "W" flags....Cubs Win!
