Roadtrip: Day 10


We decided to give the road a rest for a day and spent today exploring Chicago.  I've always loved big cities and I have to say that Chicago may be my favorite yet.  I love the hustle and bustle, the combination of historic buildings with new ones, from what I've seen it's relatively clean for a big city, and it's right next to Lake Michigan.  I'm in love.   
we took a tour of wrigley field this morning.


The historic scoreboard, still manually operated after all these years.

The field.

James in the press box.

We got to go onto the field!

I touched the grass, mwuhahahaha.

View from Sears Tower, now Willis Tower, tallest building in the western hemisphere.



We stepped out onto the glass ledge...scary!

Aaahh the city.

Navy Pier

We stumbled upon another concert in the park.  This one was huge!!

The weird reflective blob thingy.



James is in this photo somewhere!
We had fun taking pictures of ourselves in the reflection of the blob.

  Our hotel happened to be across the street from a Ruth's Chris so we indulged.  Now it's sleep time!  Tomorrow we head to Virginia to see James' family. Woo!
