CHI-TOWN!!!

Well here are a few pixs from the parental visit.
Oprah's house is right there. ( The top 2 floors we think)


Dad milking a plastic cow (Dont worry he did clean the utters before hand)


Mom and Dad starring in the clowns



The Spirit of America (2 points if you know the history)



The U-505 boat. I know Dad posted the picture of us in front of it, but this gives a full view of the ship as it rests.



It was sure fun running around the city with Mom and Dad, maybe Dad will post more of his postcard pictures he took of the landscape, flowers, animals and skyline. He sure did enjoy his camera.

Go Cubs Go!!!!

We went to Wrigley Field last week to see the Cubbies win! It was really fun. Edon got the tickets from a board member last week and the seats were great.

Okay that wasnt our seat but how about this one.
This is where we really were. Wrigley is so small any seat is great.

An old chicago tradition, Go Cubs Go, after every game they win.

Sweeney Todd

Last night Edon and I got Giordano's Chicago style pizza, I know it isn't as good as Gino's East, but it was across the street from the theater and it is pretty good. We then saw Sweeney Todd.



It was really good. It was really different from what I thought it would be. The scene was really simple, it was a parlor backdrop that was smaller than the stage with a hard wood raise floor. It was like a smaller stage set on top of the real stage. The other interesting style was that there was no pit, the actor were also musicians and they played the score, sang and acted, so no one ever left the stage. It was really interesting see the actors use the instruments with the acting. I really liked it. It's nice having Broadway in Chicago.
