Pregame

The second stop on our tour of all 30 MLB stadiums was Wrigley Field to see the Chicago Cubs host the Atlanta Braves. Our journey started on Thursday's red-eye trip of the Megabus — an adventure we vowed to never embark on again. Sleep was at a minimum, as was comfort. It didn't help that the bus was sold out, crunching everyone together, which only made the excursion last longer.

To add salt to our unpleasant wounds, Nick realized he had left his debit card and extra cash back at home. Needless to say, it was a good start to the trip.

The one good thing about taking the night ride was that it put us in Chicago in the morning with plenty of time to experience the city. The bad thing, was we were running on fumes. *Cue Five Hour Energy stop*

 We started our time in Chicago with breakfast with Laura and Tyson at the West Egg Cafe. To say the least, we had mixed reviews on the restaurant. One thing we both thought it was missing was an order of mimosas.

After breakfast, it was decided that a short cat-nap was needed in order to enjoy the rest of the day. Instead, the nap turned into a three-hour sleep. Thanks Megabus.
