Chicago (again) ;)

Before we knew baby was a sure thing, we planned a get-away with friends to Chicago for a Cubs game and some fun birthday celebrations. We got roof-top seats with an all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink ticket for the a day soaking up the sun with some great friends. Given that Mark and I took this trip with an extra passenger on board, I definitely took advantage of the all-you-can-eat...and I made Mark double up on the all-you-can-drink for me! :) Unfortunately, Chicago was in a cold-spell, so our sunny day, was blustery and cold. Lucky for us...our roof top seats came with beautiful indoor seating out of the elements. We ventured up to the roof for part of the game, but most of us watched the game from the comfort of our "box seats"...it was an amazing view!
First stop...The Cubby Bear for a pre-game beverage.

The rooftop was cold so only a few of the ladies ventured out. The boys enjoyed most of the game from up there. 

Afterwards, a victory beverage at Merkles - Chicago's Official Hawkeye Bar! 


After some yummy Pizzaria Due, we headed out for a night on the town. Chi-town has a great night life...good thing we're old and got their early, we only had to wait outside 20 minutes. After us the lines soared to over an hour to get into the bars downtown. 


Only half the group made it in, but with lines everywhere, we decided to stay put and enjoy a little, "Howl at the Moon."
What an awesome waiter...my very own water bucket!
