Ice Skating at Wrigley Field.

Today Julie and I met up with Laura and Bedford for some ice time at Wrigley Field.  The Cubs sold tickets to members of their email list and Emily was able to hook us up.  It was a unique experience to say the least.  They setup one hour sessions and resurfaced the ice between sessions.  The weather was perfect as well.

NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field.

Yesterday Julie and I went to the NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field.  To say the least it was amazing.  The first period was worth the (steep) price of admission.  The Blackhawks ended up falling to the Redwings 6-4.  The weather wasn’t unbearable and our seats were blocked from the wind.  We had a really good view of the entire ice and the seat next to us was empty.  The opening festivities were a little over the top (introducing Chicago Sports Legends twice) but once the game got going it was awesome.  The first period was pretty much non-stop action with a Detroit player getting upended into the Hawks bench.

Truly Classic.

After the game we rallied back at my place and deep fried a turkey (and grilled a pork loin).

Cubs Vs. Phillies.

On Thursday Julie and I met Dan in the bleachers for the Cub’s – Phillies game.  The Cubs were down for much of the game until  Aramis Ramirez’s grand slam in the eighth inning.  I’ve only sat in the bleachers once before but I was much higher in the stands.  This time we sat with Dan’s friends who get there when they open and have the front row in left field.   Julie had a little issue with security due to the phonetics of her tshirt but other than that it was a good time.
