Proof of Wheaton's greatness!!!

Ok, admittedly we are unabashed Wheaton supporters, but now we have statistical proof that we are not crazy! Money magazine has produced its 2008 best places to live and Wheaton came in at 54 nationwide. Sure, Naperville is ranked number 3, but I still think we are better than Naperville. But that's just me.

Can I see your ID, kid?

Check out this video of a kid drinking beer at Wrigley. It was caught on WGN so this kid's dad is in some hot water once his mom sees it! We have been frequenting the bleachers this year and we have seen plenty of drunks that are likely below the legal age but this is just getting ridiculous.

Seadog!

During the last weekend in June, Phil and Tammi came over to Illinois for an architectural boat tour aboard the Seadog. It was actually something that we had been wanting to do for a while so when Phil mentioned it, we jumped at the opportunity. Of course, everyone knows you can't go boating on an empty stomach so we had lunch at RL before the tour. I had no idea the place was even there before, but man have we been missing out. The food was simply fantastic.

After lunch we walked over to Navy Pier where we were scheduled to catch the boat. Luckily we were early which gave us time to wander around Navy Pier. The boat tour was a lot of fun (though not exactly what we were expecting). Some of the things the tour guide said are under suspicion but he was a lot funnier than expected. Overall it was a lot of fun and a great day (except for the random shower that came through). We are now inspired to look into different architectural tours in the city. Chicago is truly an amazing city for architecture and we hope to take advantage of that!

Here are few pictures from Navy Pier and the Seadog!

Not a bad day to be on the water.

Look at that blue water. Who wouldn't want to live here?
