Cubs "Unite" the otherwise divided...

The last blog posed the question...'can the Cubs unite us'? Well this weekend Chels and I found out that not only can they unite us, but that they can bring together entire conferences and rivalrys to cheer for a common good.

We set out on Saturday to see if we could catch our first game of the season and it didn't look good at first. When we first stepped outside it was already raining, but lucky we both wore hats and brought along an umbrella. The rain would not dampen our spirits. We boarded the blue line to Addison and from there took a bus to Wrigley Field. Once we got there we approached the ticket window and to our suprise they did have tickets available, however they were obstructed view seats. We decided we needed to caucus so we stepped away for a moment. We were at that point approached by few ticket scalpers and almost purchased tickets from them. However since the weather was bad we didn't want to spend alot of money. We decided to get the obstructed view tickets and thought that we would walk around if the seats were really bad. We only paid $20 for the tickets. Well to our suprise we had great seats!!! If you look at the picture of the field above that was taken from our seats. We were on the first base line in section 235 which is covered...so while it was raining we didn't get wet and had a perfect view, no obstrucitons! The Cubs however didn't have such a great day, they suffered their worst lost in over ten years, we hope that that wasn't our fault.

After the game we decided to go get some grub so we headed to the Vine for a bite. After we got some much needed nurishment we headed for the Cubbie Bear. We met a lot of people from all over and while we were all from different places and supported different college sports teams we all have a common love of the Cubs, so we set our differences aside and had a great time! Chels and I had yet another great time and again met a few people from Iowa?!?!? We know there is a connection now we just need to find out what it is!

The pics are just for fun...we took turns with the camera...I got a good one with Chels and the famous Wrigley sign and then Chels got one of me getting back in touch with my gymnastic roots. And if you read this far do me a favor and leave me a message with what number you see at the bottom of the sign...I know that Chels is getting 'older' but come on!!!
