OMG … So we left Cleveland at 10:45 pm.  The drive to Chicago was 5 hours.  I was counting off the hours.  Each hour was a new goal attained.  I was determined to make it to Chicago before rush hour.  We are planning to stay at a parking lot which allows RV and Big Semi Trucks to park right in the downtown core area, but I didnt want to get in around the Chicago rush hour (which I presume starts around 6 am).  So we pushed thru only stopping once for a potty break and once for gas.  Ben later told me he did fall asleep and was concerned that I was going to also.  But I was tired on the trip but did not once close my eyes, if I had I would have pulled ver imediately.  We got into Chicago around 4:30 am and Ben skillfully directed us around Chicago to find the parking area.  We immediately parked and went right to sleep.

We slept for about 6 hours and then cleaned up and headed to the Chicago White sox vs the Toronto Bluejays in US Cellular Field.  It was about a 1 mile walk to the stadium.  We had pretty good seats in the left outfield.

This was the first game I got to hear the Canadian National Anthem.  I love that song.  Ben and I werent really to talkative at the game I think we were both still really tired from the drive the night before.  The Home team – Chicago White sox won and we walked back to the RV and took a nap.  Ben went into the city to meet up with an old high school buddy who now lives in Chicago and I stayed home to catch up from this rigorous pace.
