No tix, but the roars and groans let me and the kiddos know what's up. (at Wrigley Field)

The Humboldt Park Boathouse, love how this park frames the Sears tower in the background at so many different angles.

If this city would get its shit together this would still be a beach. #humboldtpark #chicago

Nice being 2 blocks from the Humboldt Park Boathouse for the evening run from the new apartment. (at Humboldt Park)

Sunrise bike ride with the city in hazy silhouette. Pictures don't capture the feeling of biking through the city before the cars clog the streets.

Caught a break in the fog just in time to explore Acadia National Park with @anniefitzdannie morning. One of my new favorite places on Earth. (at Acadia National Park)

This could be good.

Lobster roll at Shannon's. Bartender told us this was way better than Red's, and we think she was right. Loved this little town! Like Gills Rock with more fishermen and restaurants. (Ok, if it were like 5,000 people). (at Shannon's Unshelled)

Just living up to her vows last night at Schaller's Pump. Aunt Ann Marie said I had to go there, and she was right. The Soxiest of Sox bars. These are Mom's people!

Best part of our first run on the #606 yesterday was a kid at the west end on his dirtbike, "Wanna go up the mountain?!?" Man, I wanna be a kid on a dirtbike again.
