Our stay in Chicago began following a good night sleep. We got up and going about 10AM. Even though we are in this to finish it, it is half tempting to get back into the Caravan, get on westbound I-90, and drive the 2,100 miles back to Seattle and not look back. But I know we can’t do that. I had made plans before the trip began to run into an old friend, Dave Brown, while in Chicago and we got together and spent most of the day together checking out all of the sites to see and then going to the game together as well. I’ve known Dave for well over 20 years, but this is the first time we’ve met. I got to know Dave thru my Fantasy Football leagues I ran initially in the late 1980’s while Dave was still in High School. The opportunity to get together didn’t occur until this trip however. We had a great time, along with the rest of the gang. Dave is from the south side of Chicago and has been a White Sox fan for most of his life. We decide to have authentic Chicago Deep Dish Pizza before going to the game and stop at Lou Malnotti’s Pizzeria that is about 3 miles from US Cellular Park. We wanted to be among the first 10,000 fans at tonight’s game as it is Miller Lite Baseball Beverage Wraps, but with this being an inter-league game against the Cubs it might be difficult to get there in time. After the game it’s right back in the car, for the trip to our next destination, Washington, DC. However we will be making a diversion on the way to Washington, DC. We will have more in the morning.
