| My Mom took my brother and I to Chicago a few weeks ago. It had been years since the three of us had taken a trip without the rest of the family. When we were kids, my mom would take us to San Francisco every September to take in the city sights, baseball games, etc. Now, 25-30 years later, we were back at it. |
 |
| Taking in the sights on the river tour. |
 |
| We couldn't go to Chicago without going to Soldier Field. It was great to walk through the colonnade on both sides of the stadium. |
 |
| We went out to Wrigley Field and took in a Cubs/Braves game. What a great place to watch a game. |
 |
| Terry had to see "The Bean". |
 |
| We stayed with Roger and Sylvia in Dallas a few weeks ago. We started off the trip by going to see "America's Team", the Dallas Cowboys, play the New York Giants. It was a great game. Of course, made better by the fact that the Cowboys won. |
