World's Biggest Rooftop Party

So not only is this a great week becuase it's the last week of school, but we had a mommy and daddy night last night at the Cubs game.  I have to say, I think Wrigley Field,  and the neighborhood, on game day, is probably one of my favorite places in the world. 

Our seats though, were one of the surrounding rooftops, which is just ONE BIG PARTY.   (That's my sister)  If you ever come through Chicago, you HAVE to see a Cubs game.  It's an experience that can't be put into words.  Where else in the country can you watch a baseball game from a rooftop deck with an amazing view of the city?  And after the game the party continues on the streets and bars in Wrigleyville.  Now just hoping this work day goes by fast.  I ate a few to many hot dogs and italian sausage sandwhiches and drank a few to many drinks.

Tourist for a day.



I love Chicago.
I sometimes say that I want to move, that I want to get away from the city and move somewhere small; where everyone knows everyone.  But then I have a day like today and I take it back.  I LOVE this city.  I love the people, the hustle and bustle. I love the sports, food, archetecture.  I love everything about it.  And everytime I leave this city, I miss it like crazy.

Today we went on the Chicago sightseeing tour with my family.  To celebrate my mom's birthday.  It was 80 degrees and sunny.  And it was a great day.



 After the tour we went to eat at Navy Pier.  It was packed!




I can't wait for summer to begin.
