August in Chicago!



We just spent two great days in Chicago. What a beautiful city! I love visiting Chicago and forget between visits how beautiful it is, especially in the summer! This is just three of the hundreds of planters on Michigan Avenue - the whole city looks like this and the parks are gorgeous! We had lovely weather and went on an architectural cruise on the river and on Tuesday we went to our favorite place in the city - Wrigley Field!



I just like all the patterns in the last picture - very cool!



The first picture is from the Wrigley Field Press Box - yes, the press box. The next two are from the Cubs Dugoout - yes, the dugout! The next is the Cubs on-deck circle - yes, the on-deck circle!

Drum Roll, Please - This is my foot on Wrigley Field Grass - YES, the grass!!!!

We had a wonderful time in the city, which is obvious, but the reason we went up in the first place was our son-in-law, Britton. He was in town for a conference so we took advantage and went up to see him. We had a few drinks and then we ate at Heaven on Seven on Rush - great restaurant, we all highly recommend it. We all loved the red beans and rice, for starters and went from there!
Enjoy the rest of August! Keep Reading!
