Good food, friends, and Baseball!

Sunday, Funday! We had (overall) a pretty great weekend here in the Windy City. We made it out to the ballpark and got to watch Chicago's good baseball team (your #1 AL Central White Sox) dominate the Houston Astros (which helps out our Cincinnati Reds)!

Beautiful day for a butt kickin'!

Before the game, we did it up right with our nearest and dearest "region" friends, Matt & Em.

Sox hat? Check. Cooler full of food and drinks? Check. American flag tank top? CHECK.

Staying cool on that blacktop is no easy feat, but we did it!

They were even nice enough to hand out these collectors edition Paul Konerko one of a kind painting (replicas...)

Someone in my family will probably be the proud new owner of this come Christmas time ;)

Good friends...

(random new friends)

Good food...
hey, Comiskey Dog

Good drinks.

All in all, that's a helluva recipe for a great day!

After we parted ways, the mister and I ventured downtown for the Chicago Blues Festival. We were in the mood to top off the day with some good music.

We are stoked to go to as many different festivals as we can this summer. There's this little rumor going around that Chicago is a different city in the summertime, and... well... it's true. 


People are happy(ier)
Food is greasy(ier)
Drinks are strong(er)
Sun is bright(er)
and the beach is only a quick bike ride away!

Here's to your summer weekends. Cheers!


Until next time (sooner this time, we promise. Our camera went kaput on us, so all of these are compliments of iPhone, Droid, and the ever famous Instagram).
