We just got back from Chicago, an amazingly fun whirlwind trip in honor of my husband's 40th birthday. Highlights included obtaining a game ball from one of the three games we went to at Wrigley, seeing Ernie Banks at lunch, a mini cruise and other adventures at the Navy Pier, and an amazingly impressive lightning storm. The high point for my husband was probably that the Cubs won twice, so he got to sing "Go Cubs Go!" at the top of his lungs alongside other ecstatic fans.
