One of the many things Jim misses about Chicago is being able to go to Wrigley Field to watch his cubbies play. So the next best thing is go watch them at their second home in Mesa, HoHoKam Park, during spring training. We have kept up the annual spring training trip tradition for three years now and I am sure we will continue it for many years to come.
This year we were able to watch the Cubs slaughter the white sox, 9-0, while spending time with our favorite Arizona couple, Ryan and Theresa. After the game Ryan and Theresa took us to a cool outside shopping mall in Gilbert where we grabbed dinner then went to play some mini-golf and grab dessert at Culvers (another place we miss from Chicago). As good as Jim and I thought we were at mini-golf, both Ryan and Theresa beat us.
Sunday morning Jim headed back out to HoHoKam to watch some batting practice and catch some of minor league players that had reported to camp early, while I stayed home at Uncle Will's visiting and relaxing.
