I had national training for work in Chicago on Monday and Tuesday. It was really fun! Honestly. If every work day was like that, I'd never complain. I learned a lot and met a lot of the people from other offices that I work with and enjoy. We had some fancy dinners, drinks and laughs. It was awesome. I checked the Cubs schedule when I got booked for this training and saw that they'd be home playing the Washington Nationals on the Tuesday evening that training ended. We decided that Jackson would drive up Tuesday afternoon to meet me, go to the game and spend an additional day in the Windy City.
After I finished training (and took a nap. Whew! I'm not as young as I used to be and my colleagues are professionals at going out, I swear) Jackson and I headed to Wrigley to catch my first Cubs game. It was Jackson's first time actually going into the stadium- last time he went to a party on a rooftop deck overlooking the place. We stopped at the beer garden across the street for dinner. It was really good and Jackson looked down right adorable. (Excuse him for wearing a Red Sox hat to a Cubs game. I was annoyed, too.)
We scalped tickets because we were unsure how the weather would be. It was PERFECT! We could not have asked for a better evening to catch a game at Wrigley.
We actually had good seats, but my photos do not portray that. :/
Jackson was really excited that the Cubs were playing that Nationals because he went to church with their closing pitcher, Drew Storen. I was able to get a photo of Drew mid-pitch. Yeah! Unfortunately Drew's team bested the Cubs, but we still had a nice time at the game. We rode the EL back to the hotel and crashed. It was so nice to be able to use public transit again- Indianapolis needs to get on it!
