Friday was a busy day...we wanted to attend the CUBS game at 1:20...so that meant catching the METRA in Waukegan, finding Wrigley Field from the Ravenswood stop....(oh, just a little bit farther...for 3 miles...shoulda taken a taxi or bus)...then, of course, we had to find (scalpers are such a bunch of rip-off artists!!!) some tickets for a game that was sold out!!!! That didn't go as well as we expected but at least we got in the game....and eventually found some great seats...and it was a wonderful game. An in-the-park home run for the CUBS...shade, cool breeze, and most important...CUBS WIN!!!! CUBS WIN!!!!...shopping for CUBS gear afterwards and a visit to a local bar for food and beverages...then taxi and METRA back to Waukegan. We did find a Baskin-Robbins on the drive back to the boat... Left at 9 AM...and it was almost 9PM when we finally got home....hot, tired, and H A P P Y....BTW, those are some of Stan's friends in the blechers...we missed getting to see them...the only downer of the trip!!!
