Joe and I took a small trip the other weekend to Chicago to visit some good friends from college. They live in Indiana, so it was a good place to meet up. We had never been there before, so Joe was eager to visit the oldest stadium in baseball.
We didn't want to drive the whole way to Chicago in one day, so we decided to spend the night at a casino in Wisconsin. Joe came out 50 cents ahead! Yay! Here is the waterfall inside the casino we stayed:
The next day, we made it to Chicago! We were staying near the airport, so we had to take the subway & the bus line to get to Wrigley Stadium. Lucky for us, we met a couple on the bus that just happened to have two extra tickets on the lower deck above the Cubs. We couldn't pass up the offer of these great seats! They sold both the tickets to us for more than we could have bought one ticket in the worst seats there! score! :) Plus, we got free cowboy hats!
And Joe caught a ball during batting practice, which made his day of course!
Then it was off to meet up with our friends. We had a GREAT time exploring Chicago's downtown. We walked through Navy Pier and had a great lunch:
We took in views of the city:
We strolled through Millennium Park to check out this strange looking mirror:
We tried the famous Chicago Style Pizza:
And of course, became experts of the underground subway system just in time to go home.
All in all, it was a great trip! It was nice to get away for the weekend and visit our friends. We just wished they lived closer!
