We arrived in Chicago on Friday, June 29- driving into the huge storm front that started the chain of storms tht hit Virginia.  We were lucky enough to sit it out under and overpass with of view of the city skyline. We couldn't even complain about the rain because it kept things so much cooler than the day before.

Since arriving we have been going to the park, eating out, walking, eating again...etc. Food and drink in Chicago is amazing!

Today we took in a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field- they won against the Houston Astros 3-0.

Waiting out the huge storm front rolling over the city.

Water park fun at one of Chicago's city parks.

Ella and I are playing at the park. The bucket drops were the best!

This was our pre-game snack! OMG good!!

Again, another storm as the game was about to begin- game delayed by 45 minutes.

Here they are uncovering the field, getting it ready for the game.

I love the old stadium feel- scoreboard still done by hand!

Go Cubs!!
