Far Away Fridays

I spent my middle and high school years outside of Chicago. I moved from there when I went to college and never lived there again. It remains one of my favorite cities to visit. Hubby and I were able to go in September 2006 for my high school reunion. He had never been there, so it was a packed couple of days sight seeing. There is so much to do in the city and where I grew up that I just never get tired of it. I had not been back in probably 7 years, so it was a great trip for me as well. There is so much to do there, I would love to take the kids one day....it is on the list of MANY places we want to take them.

Yes, I am a Cubs fan. Always will be. I have so many memories of going to games with my dad sitting behind first base. It was fun to show Hubby the stadium. If you have not been to Chicago, you follow the signs to the stadium and then it is just there. It is in the middle of a neighborhood and you don't expect to see it where it is. I was lucky enough to see some wonderful Broadway shows growing up in Chicago. It instilled a love of the arts for me. The glorious skyline. It was a typical overcast, windy day, but still wonderful to walk around.I adore Buckingham Fountain. We were lucky that it was running the day we were downtown. It does not always run in order to conserve water. It is just a sight to behold.
