Oasis RV Park/Joliet/Illinois
Cubs vs. Giants/Wrigley Field
This morning we drove to Ryan's apartment in Chicago to have a little time with Natalie and him before we headed out to the ballpark. He and Natalie had tickets for us all to the Cubs game....so we were hoping for a good weather day, since there was an overcast sky and they were predicting a possibility of a rain shower in the afternoon.
First they took us to Uncommon Ground for brunch. This was one of Ryan's work places during his college years. It was my kind of place, since they focus on fresh ingredients plus it has an artsy feel with live music on weekends and rotating art work. Evidently they have their act together, since the place was packed. In fact, it has expanded since he was there...they bought out an adjoining property and added on.
After that, we left for Wrigley's Field (just a block or so away) and settled in some good seats down front. Good news...the weather held off the entire game...bad news....our struggling Cubs lost...5 to 2. Even though we would have liked to see them win, the game still had it's exciting moments with a home run for the Cubs and some interesting plays.....so I think a good time was had by all.
Back to Ryan's apartment for a break and then over to The Cheesecake Factory where we all enjoyed a nice meal and....what else.....ummmm.....cheesecake! What a fun day and a good visit we had with them...these times make special memories.
