Wrigley August 19, 2011
We attended a Cubs game with brothers and 2 nephews on likely the most beautiful day of the summer that luckily fell on the practice day of the Chicago Air and Water Show. It ended up being the largest attendance at Wrigley since 1978. Only a few flyovers, but with that as our only complaint, we sure were lucky!
Twitter / @AirAndWaterShow: Look for the Thunderbirds …. Yay! A Thursday bonus.
My Flight Blog: Chicago Air and Water Show: The Ultimate Guide agrees that Friday (the practice day) is the best time to view the air and water show. Enjoy the ride!
On a hot last Sunday in July, we headed off down our street to the Chicago lake front to catch a play at Theater on the Lake. We had talked about going for years, but finally got our collective acts together and reserved tickets
Theater on the Lake Beach Stand
… good thing, because when 6:00 rolled around and it was still over 90 degrees we were tempted to skip another venture out into the heat. We’re glad we didn’t take a pass on the play as there are few things that top the breezes on the Chicago lake shore on a summer evening … and the provided do-it-yourself personal fans and beach (food and drink) grill added to the outdoor summer theater vibe!

We hit both Cubs and White Sox games this summer.Two completely different experiences, but we enjoyed both.
White Sox vs Yankees August 2, 2011
Hard to beat Wrigley for the ballpark in the neighborhood vibe and the old time baseball charm … but the Sox do their best to wow with frills and fireworks.
