For the past 3 summers, we have visited a different MLB stadium and see a game. Our travels have included Atlanta, St. Louis, and Cincinnati. This year we decided to go to Chicago and see 2 baseball games. Chicago is really fun and exciting city. When I was younger, my family went several times to see the Cubs play. It was neat to be able to take Jackson and Drew to the Windy City. On Saturday, we drove to Chicago and ate dinner at Portillo's (a fun hot dog place) near our hotel in Skokie. Their chocolate cake shake was amazing! On Sunday morning, we ate breakfast at Walker Brothers Pancake House. It was yummy...Andy ordered their famous apple pancake which was a huge apple fritter.

After breakfast, we decided to make the 40 minute drive to Wisconsin. Why? Well, Andy and I would like to visit all 50 states and neither one of us had been there. After a short photo shoot at the welcome center, we headed back to Chicago to ride the train to US Cellular Field.

Both of the boys enjoyed the White Sox game against the A's. Jackson decided he wanted some nachos (which he and Drew devoured) and a "throwback" Sox hat.

When we left the game, we went to eat dinner at Giordano's, a Chicago style pizza place. Here is the wonderful pizza that we all enjoyed.
Jackson and Drew loved it!
Following our delicious pizza meal, we walked to Millennium Park to see the "bean." Here are the boys posing under the bean.
Here are the boys in front of the Buckingham Fountain.
Jackson loved that we got on the El train at Jackson station. One of Drew's favorite parts of the trip was riding the train and the shuttle bus.
