Up on the Roof

Make fun of me if you will, but I am a Chicago Cubs fan. Go on, I know you want to.

*Ridicule Break*

Okay, are you finished? Good.

I have been a Cubs fan ever since I can remember, even though I didn’t actually get to see my first game all up-close-and-personal-like until I was about 28 years old. And it was in Milwaukee, against the Brewers. I have, since then, seen a couple of games at Wrigley Field and it’s a great time, even when the Cubs lose. Which they usually do.

But next year’s our year, you know?

Anyway, it was a banner day when I was able to cross an item off of my bucket list nearly two weeks ago. The folks at Vail Resorts were in town on a press trip, and they invited me to watch a Cubs game from the roof at Wrigleyville Rooftops.

Honestly, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to watch a game from the regular stadium seats again, which is GREAT news for my husband (not). We had a fantastic time. The view was great, there was a nice breeze (which was awesome since it was hotter than blazes that day), and the food and drinks were readily available, always nice when you’re at a ballgame. Oh, and the Cubs WON. I’m pretty sure it’s because I was there, but I can’t be sure.
