So yesterday we posted the Seattle Trip Plan, based off of an earlier post in which I was talking about our tenth year anniversary and where we should go. As stated before, we have really narrowed it down to two options. Here is the second (the first was yesterday. Since I will have three lists in this post, I will use as WordPress calls them ordered and unordered list. Which is to say numbered and bulleted lists. Got it?
- We would leave for Osceola pretty early so we could catch the Eastbound California Zephyr
- Ride to Chicago in coach class and arrive at Union station at 2:30PM ish.
- Walk to Willis (sears) Tower and visit the sky deck.
- Continue to walk to Jackson street Red line station
- Take Red line north to Addison
- Walk and check into Bed and Breakfast, get dinner.
- Next day take Red line south back into the city. Walk and see the main sights
- Return in mid afternoon, enter Wrigley field to watch Cubs game (not a baseball or Cubs fan, but its flippin’ Wrigley Field!)
- Return to Bed and Breakfast for second night stay.
- Following day, take Red line back to Jackson station. Walk back to Union Station to catch the Westbound California Zephyr back to Osceola (coach class) overnight
- Arrive in Osceola around 7AM and drive home.
Pros
- A lot cheaper than the Seattle trip
- Outside of us being in O’Hare it would be new
- Less time commitment
- Crosses off a bucket list item for me (visit Wrigley Field)
- Gives me an idea of what to expect if I go to see the Bengals this year
Cons
- A lot of stuff to do but not much time to do it in.
- Lots of walking (could and should be a pro)
- Would pack very light, so not much room for error
Here the pros outweigh the cons but as I said yesterday the Seattle Trip is still an option!
