Cubs vs. Brewers

Nate and I went to Milwaukee this weekend with our friends Jon and Rachael. We went to the Cubs vs. Brewers game at Miller Park. The park is so nice, but I suppose anything is nice compared to Wrigley. The park has a retractable roof, which I thought was pretty cool. There are even gift shops, bars, and restaurants inside the stadium. The Cubs won the game 6-3. I really think there were more Cubs fans at the game than Brewers fans. After the Cubs won, we witnessed a serious fight between a Cub fan and a Brewers fan. Both people were arrested. Right now, I am watching the Cubs play the Brewers again and it looks like the Cubs will win today's game too! We can't wait for the playoffs to start. It's gonna happen!

Today is Nate's birthday. Our trip to Milwaukee was part of our brithday celebration for him. Happy 31st Birthday, Nate!

It's Gonna Happen.

Summer would not be complete without going to a Cubs game. This has become a sort of tradition for us. On Saturday, we went to Wrigley Field to watch the Cubs vs. Phillies. Eventhough the Cubs lost (2-5), the game was a lot of fun. The weather was beautiful, although from our bleacher seats it was really HOT! I have a nice sunburn as a souvenir. Of course, we enjoyed all the great Wrigley Field food while watching the game. When the game finished we took the train back to our hotel, right off Michigan Avenue. We went out for a nice dinner and had a few drinks. Our mini Chicago trip was a lot of fun. We're looking forward to seeing the Cubs again when the play the Brewers in Milwaukee. We will be spending the night downtown after the game. I have only passed through Milwaukee a few times so I am excited about actually exploring Milwaukee's downtown. Go Cubs!

I just don't understand why I'm gaining weight.

Some street performers outside of Wrigley. The older guy was really talented. The little guy was just plain cute.
