Today we awoke bright and early as we prepared for our day in the city. After an amazing breakfast of French Toast, we made our way into the city with Uncle Brad at the helm!

Our first stop was the Cub's Wrigley Field. We had a tour by Jim McArdle, author of Living the Dream. I bought a copy, and he graciously signed it! There is so much history in this place! We saw the field, the dug outs, the clubhouse, the press box and the box seats! Ian had to sit in the seat once occupied by Michael Jordan. What a thrill!

Our second stop was Murphy's Bleachers for lunch. It was delicious and powered us up for another quick drive to the SEARS Tower, our third stop. We had so much fun riding along, and we wondered what sights we would be able to see on this cloudy day in the windy city. When we entered the building, all of the people warned us down below that it was cloudy at the very top. Sure enough we rode to the top and although cloud cover was ever present, the clouds swept around the top of the Tower and revealed breathtaking vistas. We examined the architecture and all of the famous views in the city. It was great!

After a thrilling ride down the highway, it was back to Uncle Brad and Aunt Tracey's. Kendall beat me at HORSE, and all the kids broke in the new trampoline. Now it is time for a delicious supper and off to bed. Tomorrow will be an early morning...destination- Boston!
