BlogNAChicago Style

BlogNAC Bloggers Alex and Becky along with accomplice Tony "Killing Me Softly" Forte visited Chicago over Memorial Day weekend to see our dear friends Sarah and Margaret. Highlights of the trip included a Cubs game, a day at the Indiana Dunes State Park, an architechtural boat tour of downtown Chicago, and a barbeque at the park.

Becky with the Mullet. We spent many minutes tracking this mullet inside the stadium and outside the gates before making our move and documenting its existence. I think this mullet would be classified as a "Kentucky Waterfall" but because Mullets Galore has become unnecessarily complex I can't be certain that this classification is accurate. On Saturday we went to the beach in Indiana to enjoy the beautiful day. There were some low points however. We were sold some cottage cheese masquerading as sun tan lotion and narrowly escaped certain conversion by a roaming gang of Christian evangelists. Afterwards we visted quaint Chesterton, IN to sample the local variety of DQ's Blizzard (AKA Belly Buster) before heading back to the city.

On Sunday we went on a boat tour of architecture of down town Chicago. I got sun burned.

After the boat tour we headed to the park for a lil Memorial Day weekend barbeque.

Look at those beautiful strong women carrying those heavy bags filled with food and drink for the barbeque. Criticism that I did not carry anything during the trip is clearly refuted by this photo which proves beyond reasonable doubt that i was not only carrying a camera, but also using it.

It was a great weekend.
