We chose to be adventurous and headed to Chicago for a long weekend. Eventhough it took us nearly 6 hours to get to town (usually takes 3 1/2), it was well worth the trip. We were able to stay with the Pludemans and visit with their adorable son Daniel, and got to catch some of the sights of Chicago. As soon as we got to town we parked the car and made a bee line to the Shedd Aquarium. Maddox wasn't really sure what to think about the big tanks of fish, but by the end of the day he had his face smashed up against the glass nose to nose with the sharks.
From the aquarium it was time to get something to eat, so we headed across the street to the Taste of Chicago. Dad was depressed that he couldn't see Emeril Live, but he enjoyed all of the people watching all the same. It was amazing seeing all of the different walks of life at the event (some should have looked in the mirror before they left the house). We played it safe with the food and had to sample the deep dish Chicago style pizza. Yum!!!
On Saturday the family packed up and headed to the Cubs/White Sox game at US Cellular Field. It was a scorcher that day, but we took plenty of ice cream breaks to keep cool. Maddox loved the baseball game and everyone sitting around us loved him. He was cheering when everyone else was cheering and even manipulated our neighbors out of nacho chips. Ridiculous!!! The White Sox ended up squeking out the win 8-7.
All in all it was a great trip......
"Mom did you see that??"
