Munson Gets "Back On Road", Just Like Song

I spent the weekend in Chicago, and it was loads of fun! I will try to upload some pictures shortly, though plenty can be found on my facebook profile.

It was a really amazing trip! I left friday afternoon, and arrived late friday night. Got up nice and early and had a good workout at the hotel gym. I headed out to a fantastic local eatery, then took a trip to the top of the sears tower. Or Willis tower, as they call it now. I then took a 2.5 hour double decker bus tour of the entire city. I saw a bunch of places I had visited as a kid, and a few I hadn't. Also saw a ton of locations from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. So cool!!

Then it was off to the Cubs game at Wrigley field to see them murder the Mets, 11 to 4. Nice! A train ride took me back, and included a lap on the famou "L" of Chicago.

I spent the evening sipping Margaritas and updating my facebook profile from the lobby bar at the W Hotel, only to wake up early the next morning for another work out and breakfast with some local friends.

I pushed off at about noon, only to arrive back in Columbus six hours later. Along the way I stopped at a roadside produce stand, and picked up a lotto ticket at a farm town I passed through on the final leg.

Overall, an amazing weekend!

now if we could just finish that album!!
