Last Friday, August 1st I took the day off work and our family went to Chicago for the weekend along with my mom, and brother and his family. We stayed all night Friday night. During the day Friday, Josh, Jonell, Michaela and myself went to a Chicago Cubs baseball game at Wrigley Field. I think the last time I was there is when I was 17 years old if I had to guess so it had been many years since I had been to Wrigley field. I didn't remember a lot of it. It was neat to see the big stadium. We left our house at 10am and due to traffic and detours and then going to hotel we didn't get to the game until about 2:30pm at the bottom of the first inning. They were playing the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was fun to watch the game. I was able to give away a few tracts and Gospels. I enjoyed being with Josh, Jonell, and Michaela. Hopefully my wife will be able to come next time. Jason Marquis was the starting pitcher and the Cubs lost 3 to 0. We sat in section 407. It was high and we used the binoculars quite a bit. We bought hotdogs for $3.75 each(not to bad pricewise). Advice if going to a Chicago Cubs game is to give yourself plenty of time. Take a CTS train if you are able. That takes you right there to the stadium. It was very crowded though getting back on the CTS to leave. One neat thing is we got to watch Jeff Smarzda pitch. The pitchers pitch very fast. It is about the blink of an eye.
