Cubbies Clinch!

It was an exciting day at the Willoughby house when the Cubs clinched their division! Those of you who know Charles know that he is a HUGE Chicago Cubs fan. In 2005 for his 30th birthday, I took him to Chicago, and we caught a game at Wrigley (the Cubs gave him a special present by winning against the Cardinals). From that time on, I too have been a Cubs fan.

We have been reminiscing about our trip and hope you will enjoy reminiscing with us...

Charles in front of Wrigley Field

We had already explored parts of Wrigleyville and had walked on

Addison, Clark, Waveland and Sheffield!

Inside the park

Charles in the stands ... check out all that ivy in the background!

We love seeing the W flag flying atop the best scoreboard in baseball

Cubs Win!!

Harry Caray' s Restaurant

We had to eat at Harry Caray's and enjoyed delicious "Holy Cow" burgers!!

A one, a two, a three...I took Charles out to the ballgame

Soldier Field and Lake Michigan from the Sears Tower

The Chicago River

Charles in front of Willoughby Tower

The Art Institute of Chicago

I really enjoyed the Impressionist collection

These columns flanked one of the many drawbridges in Chicago

Chicago Theatre

This flock of seagulls was in the park near Buckingham Fountain and across from Lake Michigan.

Charles had a fun time running with them.

Buckingham Fountain

Charles enjoyed watching Married With Children and since Buckingham Fountain is featured in its intro, we thought Charles should recreate a few Al Bundy poses. This one is Al's football pose.

Charles with our guide from the Untouchables Tour.

This was one of my favorite things that we did in Chicago. We were able to see all the points of interest from Gangland Chicago. We would recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Chicago.

Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline

We had a great time in Chicago! It's a great city, and we both want to visit it again.

Hopefully after the deciding game of the World Series, we will hear...

"Go Cubs go, Go Cubs go, Hey Chicago, what do you say? Cubs are going to win today!!"

GO CUBBIES!!
