Day 15 - Chicago

Start: Milan, OH
Stop: Chicago, IL – Wrigley Field – Baltimore Orioles at Chicago Cubs
Finish: Wheaton, IL
After examining the schedule for today, we had high hopes that it would be a pretty easy and fun day. We didn’t have to wake up too early and we didn’t have too much to drive. Plus, we would have the honor of seeing a Cubs game at Wrigley Field with our aunt, uncle and cousins. Now that the day is over, it is pretty easy to say that we were correct in our prediction.

We left Ohio around 10:15 Eastern Time so we could arrive at the McNaughton’s house at around 3 Central Time. On the way, we stopped at a Fazolis to eat lunch. It was mighty tasty! We then got back on the road and arrived in Wheaton only about 10 minutes late. When we got there, only Aunt Diane, Duncan and Eean were at home, so we just hung out for a bit waiting for Lesley and Uncle Scott to get home. When they did, we packed up our Gatorades and headed for downtown.

When we got to downtown, we parked in a parking garage, walked to a subway station and rode it to the famed Wrigley Field. When we got there, we went to the home plate gate with the famous “Welcome to Wrigley Field, Home of the Cubs” sign is located. After taking a few pictures, we walked to our seats down the right field line and in the upper deck.

Our view was pretty good and uninhibited. The Cubs have been playing good at home, so needless to say, we were expecting a win. They came out fast, scoring 6 runs in the first 3 innings. The game was pretty good and the Cubs won so it was a successful evening.

We then rode the train back to the car and drove home! Tomorrow we are planning to eat breakfast early and then just hang out until we need to leave for Clinton, IA. It should be another easy/fun day!

Result: Cubs win, 7-4
Record: 6-6
