Chicago Road Tripp'n

My oldest daughter is the assistant varsity field hockey coach for Saint Ignatius College Prep, a private, coeducational Jesuit college-preparatory school located in the near west side neighborhood of Chicago.

It was founded in 1869 is an absolutely beautiful old, well maintained school and campus.

The field hockey team had game on Friday night, 9/27, which was also senior night, against Edwardsville, so Audrey and I went to watch the game and Steph coach!  As you can see in the picture below, it was a beautiful night and awesome sky - that's the old Sears Tower, now known as the Willis Tower, in the background. The Wolfpack trounced and won easily 12-1


We spent Sunday, 9/29, at home watching the Chicago Bears beat the LA Rams 24-18.

After the game we headed out to the Tripoli Tap sports bar, on W. Armitage Ave., to watch the Patriots take on the 49s!  The Tripoli Tap is a Boston sports sanctuary that have their TVs tuned to all professional Boston sport games.  Sadly, it was an ugly game for the Pats but the beers were cold, so we still won -


Although, the Tripoli Tap is known for it's wings, which looked delicious, we fought the urge to eat and instead headed to the Athenian Room restaurant for a delicious Greek meal!  Spanakopita appetizer to start with, followed by the chicken breast shish kebob, OMG SO SO good!


What a great way to spend a Sunday!
