I join a travel group for a weekend of fun and food in Chicago, culminating in a Wrigleyville Rooftop barbecue at a Chicago Cubs versus Pittsburg Pirates game. 

This travelblogue includes stories on a morning at Chicago Botanical Gardens, dinners at North Pond, Harry Caray's and Ditka's Restaurants, and Giordanos Pizzas, lunch at M Henry's, and "breakfast" at Billy Goat Tavern. See the index for links to stories and reviews as they are added.
