Cubs v. Braves

My first baseball game!  The Chicago Cubs v. The Atlanta Braves at Wrigleyfield.  It got cold, and by the end of the game, they were playing inside a cloud.  The Cubs won!





ooh, look at the sunset

notice, we moved seats



After the game, we went to a place called Merkle's:

Caribou Coffee - Vernon Hills

After that car accident getting resolved, we had some coffee (and a strawberry-banana smoothie) at Caribou Coffee in Vernon Hills.  I wrote a message on the chalkboard there!

Caribou #5 for Ollie!




Can you see my message?  Just look below


Splayed wheels

Wow, look at the tires on this Honda Civic!

10¢ wings at The Rail - Chicago

10¢ wings!  My owner, two friends and I split fifty.  Well, I guess I didn't eat any, so the three of them split fifty.  The place is called The Rail (which is in the Ravenswood neighborhood) and this is something they do every Monday night.  We got them hot, Teriyaki and BBQ flavored.  Hoegaarden, BBK and Fat Tire were the beers of the night - pictured, anyway.

Fat Tire, Hoegaarden, Ollie, Hoegaarden, Da Bears

All fifty in their glory

Three, not so much glory (turns out there were actually more than fifty)

Sushi & pub crawl - The Glen Town Center

It started out with sushi at Ra, they were having happy hour too, I had my first cosmo.  Then we tried out Yard House, but it was too expensive, so we went to El Jardin instead, and had a margarita.  The Glen Town Center pub crawl. :)

Caribou Coffee - Libertyville

I like Caribou Coffee shops.  This one is in Libertyville, right next to the train stop.  Which is interesting because the one in Northbrook and the one in Glenview are both quite close to train stops too.

Caribou #3 for Ollie!

O'Hare International Airport - ORD

My owner went to O'Hare Airport to pick up his friend - and he brought me along.  I only got to see around Terminal 5 (this is the international terminal), but it was great to see all the travelers arriving.  It was raining when we got there, but stopped so that I could get a look at all the flags outside.  I like flags, have I told you that before?

Airport #1 for Ollie - hopefully not the last!
