01494 Friendly Confines: So, last May (for my Birthday) Erin got me tickets for the Cubs vs. the White Sox at Wrigley Field. We flew into Chicago on a Thursday and the game was on Friday. It was an afternoon game, Ferris Bueller style, and it felt like the entire city was there. Yup, best birthday present ever. We made a weekend out of it and went all over Chicago. Now that these photos have celebrated their first birthday, I figured the were old enough to post on Flickr. The plan is that over the next few days I will post all of the fun touristy stuff we did. Chicago was an amazing city, I can’t wait to go back. 01494 Friendly Confines: So, last May (for my Birthday) Erin got me tickets for the Cubs vs. the White Sox at Wrigley Field.
