Each year, I go to a seminar for forecasting and this year, I had to travel to Chicago. They are almost always informative but never all that much fun. This year, however, it gave me the opportunity to visit my dad and Elizabeth in Chicago during Father's Day weekend. It is a rarity I get to see my dad and Elizabeth so getting to see them, at their house, that weekend was extra special. We had great food at CARMINES in downtown Chicago which is known not only for its food but also for its atmosphere. It is known as Tommy Lasorda's favorite restaurant in Chicago and we sat near Giuliana DePandi and Apprentice winner Bill Rancic and the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks bus. We also got to see a Cubs game at Wrigley against the Angels. Wrigley is one of the two baseball stadiums (the other is Fenway) that are must sees for any baseball fan. It is such a unique stadium, the atmosphere is awesome, and getting to see the Angel's win was the icing on the cake. We actually left a little early because it looked like the bright sunny day we were having was going to turn into a thunder storm. THANK GOD we left when we did because on our ride home the sky's opened up. It was so loud and powerful that windows were breaking and there was a power outage. It was so severe but the very next morning, it was a sunny and beautiful day for golf with my dad and Jim Mixon. It was a GREAT weekend!!!!
