Walk #1: Wrigleyville and Southport

Our first walk took us around Wrigleyville and Southport (our new neighborhood). Kyle said that we should start off near our place with a shorter one. We combined two maps and walked about 3 1/2 miles.
Our starting point: our front entrance

Since we were walking in Wrigleyville, it took us right past the field. There was a home game today so it was very packed and there were some 'curious' people (that is what Kyle says). One homeless guy had a sign that read, "I am not going to lie, I need a beer!"

Venders were handing out "Wrigley" gum and Lipton single Iced Tea to go. We were glad to get free things and we weren't even going to the game! We also bought this jar of Raspberry preserves at Julius Meinl later on in the walk.

Here is the infamous B of A that some stupid teller decided to give all our money to someone else.

This is the Music Box theater not that far from our house in Southport.

Dairy Queen...Woo Hoo!

I told Kyle that we had to take one picture of the two of us in front of something cool...we decided that it was going to be the DQ.
We had fun and are already lining up our next walk. My parents (Lubinus) are coming up in one week and we are planning on taking several down by Grant Park. Hopefully the weather will be a little warmer; it was only about 60 degrees today and 40 degrees yesterday...burr!
