Cubs 8, Pirates 2
We woke up this morning and drove to downtown Chicago to park and took the El to Wrigley Field for the Cubs-Pirates matinee. Any baseball fan should at least see one game in Wrigley if they can do so. To be in the same place where so much history in the game has been made was something else. The last trip I had to Wrigley got rained out before the seventh inning stretch, so I was happy to hear this guy lead the park in "Take Me Out To The Ballgame". That being said, Wrigley isn't very fan friendly (which makes sense since the park is almost 100 years old).
After the game, Team Baseball returned downtown and went on a archetectural boat tour of downtown Chicago, which we enjoyed. We ate at Navy Pier and returned to the hotel after making a short pit stop at Harpo Studios to the joy of the distaff member of Team Baseball.
Another note about our hotel. We have no commode. Honest. We have a water closet (at least that is what the sticker on top says). There's a big silver button on top of the commode you press and then everything shoots out of the bottom at the speed of sound. Crazy, huh?
Tomorrow is a very early start on the road to Minneapolis. Team Baseball will spend time at the Mall of America before heading to the hefty bag to see the Twins take on the Orioles. We be back in late so look for our next update late Tuesday morning.

Don't forget to eat a deep fried cheese curd.

We went through Camp Snoopy, they have a new rollercoaster that spins as it goes over the track (think of it as a tilt-a-whirl meets a rollercoaster).
Was wanting to send a note to some folks at Midwest, but just didn't have the time, and the SPF Diva couldn't make it over.
Go GRIZ!!!!
