Yes, we know it has been a long, long, long time since our last blog update so this has been a long time coming. Back in August Kirby and I spent a weekend taking in some fun sites in Chicago.
First we went to the Field Museum and saw an exhibit on Pirates, AAARGH. It was very interesting, insightful, and not at all like Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Along with seeing the Pirates Exhibit we also took in the rest of the Field Museum. It is one of the most interesting museums around and I'm thankful it is my own back yard.

Here I am with my new pirate boyfriend, he is such a stud. Shhhhhh don't tell Kirby.
Kirby also found a new girlfriend while he was there, Sue the dinosaur. She looks mean I don't think I will mess with her.
After going to the Field Museum we walked around the great city of Chicago and end up at The Bean in Millennium Park.
The lovely city of Chicago.

The day after we went to the Field Museum and walked around the city of Chicago we did something I have wanted to do since I moved to Chicago 12 years ago. We took the behind the scenes tour of Wrigley Field where the Chicago Cubs play. I have been a Cubs fan since I moved to Chicago and currently live 10 blocks away from Wrigley Field. I have to say the behind the scenes tour of Wrigley Field is one of the neatest things I have done. During the tour we saw a short video about Wrigley Field and the Cubs, learned the history of how both Wrigley Field and the Cubs came to be. We also got a tour of visiting teams locker room, the Cubs locker room, the Press Box, the Club Boxes, the Cubs and visiting team dug outs and the most exciting part of the tour is we got to go out on the field!!!!! I have to say if you are ever in Chicago and can get tickets to this tour do it, it is well worth it!!!
