Mark's Chi-Town Birthday



Here we are during the 7th Inning Stretch at the Cubs' game at Wrigley Saturday against the Astros.



Above is the lovely view from our hotel room on the 28th floor - right next to the Chicago River.


Here we are at Wrigley gearing up for the game!!!


A nice neighborhood near Lincoln Park. Aren't these homes beautiful?


I couldn't help it. The name of this school cracked me up.


Mark eating lunch Saturday at Trotter's To Go. We had a fancy salad, vanilla bean rice pudding, double chocolate pudding, beet soup with goat cheese and rosemary, and cannellini bean salad with grape tomatoes. MMMmm. Not exactly ballgame food though.


After Trotter's To Go, we headed to the original Charlie Trotter's - Mark's Mecca of food.



Mark's new Harry Caray Shirt - awesome!!!


Zang - hot dog billboard waiting for the "El" at the stadium. I like-a the hot dogs too!


The fountain over the river by our hotel. Just like the one at Bagnell, it nails all boats that come near. Good fun!


Colin's dream house outside Wrigley.


The bleachers on top of apartments looking into the stadium. The building owners charge spectators to see the game. Very enterprising!
