Chicago!!!

This past weekend Brett and I decided to be spontaneous and go to Chicago to watch the Reds beat the Cubs at Wrigley Field! We started out early Saturday morning on our 5 hour drive.


In northwest Indiana we saw a HUGE windmill farm


They were HUGE and EVERYWHERE!
Two Thumbs up to you Indiana for Going Green!


Coming into the City!

We made it to Wrigley Field!


Members of the LAST World Series team for the Cubs trying to make a penny or two! haha


Inside Wrigley!


View from our seats


The buildings surrounding Wrigley had "rooftop" seats which were very cool


Cincinn-YES-today!


Chicago's famous Italian Beef subs...

YUM!!


The Old Style Scoreboard!


The famous Ivy!


Ron Howard led the 7th Inning Stretch


REDS WIN!!


Cubs Lose!
A tradition, they raise a "W" or "L" flag to let people on the train know what happened at the game that day


The score gets announced to all!


That night Brett, Brooke O and I all went to Gino's East Pizzeria for dinner for some famous Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza!


DE-LISH!!!


The walls are COVERED in peoples names all over the restaurant

At the Chicago Tribune building. It had pieces of many other buildings placed in it... here is Ohio's


Awesome architecture

Riding the El!! We're so worldly now


On Sunday Brett, Brooke O and I got up and went to breakfast on Brooke's street. Brooke then took us over to Navy Pier for some more sightseeing.

Walking out on to Navy Pier


A view of the city from Navy Pier


In a very cool tropical (notice the Palm Trees!!!) building on Navy Pier


On our boat tour through the river's of Chicago to see all the buildings. Unfortunately it started raining just as we left the dock so we had to go below, it was still cool though


A boat garage!


A really cool building with a really cool parking garage!


Some person's amazing boat!


We saw lots of people kayaking down the rivers


You can see Sears (Willis) Tower in the background
