SOOOOO fun...

Yesterday was so so fun! I got up SUPER DUPER early, headed off to a great meeting (it started at 8 and was 1 hour and 15 min from my house...wow), then headed off to the Cubs game. We of course missed our turn to get to the train station, so we had to circle back to find it, but we made it just in time! I've only been on the el one other time, and this was no less of an interesting experience. We were total dorks and we used our phones down in the tunnels because OUR provider is the only one that works down there :) Anyway, the train ride down was nothing compared to the one back!!

We got to the game and met up with his aunt and uncle - they're so nice! We had a great time at the game (we accidentally offended this really obnoxious girl sitting right in front of us...she just sat there are stared at us all while we talked...not sure what her deal was). We grabbed a couple of beers and some (bad) hot dogs after the 2nd inning, then just went back to continue our stream of 'offensive' conversation topics ;-) The Cubs won! It got pretty close there at the end, but they did it anyway!

Then we headed back to the train station - what a nightmare right after the game! It was PACKED! I literally could not move once the doors of the train closed. Some punk on the train was pretty certain he was the only one who was smashed in the situation, and at every stop he would yell at the people waiting to get on, "there's no more #*$%in' room on the train!!". It was pretty hilarious. Maybe you had to be there...

We decided mid-train ride that we were hungry, so he knew of a place he wanted to stop...a pretty fancy place that was SO yummy. We caught the Derby from the bar in there on our way out...a pretty good race! I picked the winner, but then changed my mind right before the race...and lost all bragging rights. Oh well.

Back to the train for a much more civilized ride home. Lots of too too funny stories on the way home, then back to my car and off to my house.
