Back in February, an ill-timed rupture of my appendix (and a 5-day hospital stay) rudely prevented a long-overdue anniversary getaway. We had to cancel the trip, but were allowed to defer our plane tickets provided we used them by the end of September.
With September now quickly coming into view, we've opted for a family trip to the Windy City. We'll hit the planetarium, introduce the boys to the hallowed grounds of Wrigley Field, and hopefully enjoy a break from the southern summer heat. The only anxieties I have about the journey is putting myself and my family completely at the mercy of public transportation. I'm just not a big-city guy. I'd prefer to drive, but dealing with a rental and parking with our itinerary simply isn't practical.
Still, it should be a fun trip, and despite the miserable season the Cubs have had, I have hopes that breathing the rarified air at Wrigley will do wonders for my spirit. At the very least, we'll have the opportunity this coming month to create some new family memories for my quickly growing boys. It'll be good.

Wrigley?! I am SO jealous right now! Maybe you'll be there on a WGN broadcast day. I'll keep my eyes open for you. :-)
