Chicago Day 2

I told you it was going to be a long one!

Day 2 began a little chilly and windy, yep the Windy City really does fit...our first stop was at the giant McDonalds - seriously isn't it huge?

Me with my egg mcmuffin in one hand and the gps in the other!


And then we started our trek to the Cubs game...this was Rob's 1st time being at a real Cubs game so he couldn't wait to get there. We arrived 2 hours before the game (did you know baseball games last 2.5 to 3 hours?), yeah LONG day! It was the coolest thing to see the look of excitement on Rob's face when we finally arrived, he bascially ran around the field taking pictures of anything and everything, it was awesome to be there with him for that!

We got seats in the bleachers and the whole atmosphere was just so fun. The people there are really sweet and fun and Rob had a great time heckling the Cardinals fans!

Trying to hold up the sign....we don't have the artistic vision that some do!

My poor hair was a tangled mess the whole time


After the game I took one look at the thousands of people trying to get back on the train and we decided to go sight see a bit until the crowd died down..
This was in front of a Jewish something or other...

The streets are so cool, tall brownstone buildings with shady tree lined streets


That night we walked to Navy Pier and ate carmel corn and rode the ferris wheel, (we got so sun burned at the Cubs game!)

Rob performed for me in this empty auditorium we found

We discovered the key to long skinny legs....



Next up Day 3....
