Lucie's last day--Monday, June 27

Sunday the weather was perfect all day.  Monday...not so much.  I was sad because there were so many things that are so much better to do when the weather is nice.  We woke up and it was pouring rain though.  it cleared up, but the weather on-line said there would be severe thunder storms starting around 2:00.  We decided to go for the architecture boat tour during the couple of hours of not stormy weather since that was one of the things Lucie really wanted to do.  It was foggy, but we didn't get rained on at all.  And to everyone's surprise, the weather turned nice in the afternoon, so even though I was wearing rain boots, we went down to the Taste of Chicago Festival (it was supposed to be tornados in the evening) for lunch, then headed to Wrigley Field to see if we could catch the Cubs game.  I bartered with a scalper and got our tickets down to $20 each.  (They would have been $36 dollar tickets, and the cheapest tickets you can buy are $18 tickets.  I was pretty proud of myself.)  We saw three home runs during the game and the Cubs won, which hasn't happened a tons during this season.  We walked back to my apartment, ate dinner, then headed back to Taste of Chicago for a concert which showcased a few musical numbers from several different musicals that will be in Chicago in the next couple of months.  After, we walked back through Millennium Park and stopped for another concert of a local band.  It was supposed to be raining and stormy, but it was a really good day overall.
