Phil was one of the lucky 2 million+ that ventured downtown for the Blackhawks parade. It was funny because his boss had told everyone on Thursday that they could work from home on Friday since the city was expecting quite the turnout for the festivities. But Phil said there was no way he was missing it.
He did say that the train was packed when he got on it--and his stop is the third one! Normally the train makes a few stops into the city, but it made one more and then it was too full for any more passengers. Not only was the parade/rally happening, but it was the opening of Bluesfest and the Cubs/Sox crosstown classic.
It was also 90+ degrees outside, and since Phil was in his work attire, he was a tad sweaty. He said he lost about 10 pounds! But it was all worth it. The kids and I watched the parade and rally at home--nothing like spending an entire day in front of the TV. But it was worth it. Even if we didn't see Daddy on TV. Enjoy the pics!
