Via Chicago......

Being in Chicago, we woke up to the sweet sounds of Wilco, our room has an I pod player, and perhaps the greatest beds we've slept on this week. After a quick dip in the pool & the Hot tub, Ethan decided to hit the streets in search of the Picasso Sculpture, while Brian continued to enjoy the comforts of the Swissotel.

Upon arrival at the sculpture, Ethan was psyched to see a farmer's market filled with people. There were beautiful flowers, and he wished Jessica was there so he could buy her flowers. He misses her terribly. So instead of buying his wife flowers he bought Brian a croissant.

On the schedule for this afternoon, The Cubs vs The Reds At Wrigley. What a scene! The Cubs fans, excited that their team is in 1st place were in full effect outside and inside the stadium. It was free keychain day, once again our seats were nuts about 12 rows back on the left field side. Check out these photos, Edogg was going a little nuts, especially when the Cubs were warming up right in fornt of us.

Free Key chain day, Go Cubs Go!

The Cubs were able to hold on to the lead, The crowd was going crazy during the ninth inning as Kerry Wood struck out the final 2 batters. After the game we decided to kill some time in Wicker Park before we got on the road for Iowa. We enjoyed walking around, grabbed some food for the road and headed west.

After a brief gasoline debacle in Auroa, IL (shotout to our homeys Wayne & Garth!) We pushed on, pulling in to Des MOines around 12:30. Upon our arrival we were greeted by the groom & family. We are here. We have reached our Destination, Iowa.
