A Breeze through the Windy City

Sadly, we left Tony and Jeri this morning after a yummy breakfast at one of their favorite spots. It was awesome staying in a house after all out motel/ camping experiences and it was even better with friends like family and a four legged friend, Jonesy! 

Chicago was a three hour trip north and we had a couple hours to explore Millenium park before the Cubs game. This city is definitely cleaner and actually more stunning than NY. 
I mean the water looks like the Gulf of Mexico and the architecture can definitely be appreciated by anybody.
Biggest fountain ever!
And loved this bean!
Even Wrigley is nestled in a quaint, clean brownstone neighborhood. I have never been to a stadium that was neither in an industrial park nor the sketchy part of town. Also, the stands on top of all the surrounding buildings were neato!
The inside of the park is all brick work, most of the music was provided by a live organist and no giant screen, all positve attributes taking you back to old time baseball. Mark's favorite so far!
Ate like a local after the game, deep dish pizza.
