These pictures are from when I went to Chicago for my Uncles Memorial Service. He passed away in May of 2009, we had his memorial on All Saints Day in Nov 2011. We didn't have his remains, my family as I have stated in earlier posts are die hard bears fans. My parents, my aunt and I went to a Bears Game for him after we had a service had our family church the night before. We had a great day, of course the weather was perfectly cold, and the wind was blowing not too terrible but just enough off of Lake Michigan to remind us that we were in Chicago in November! I had a hot dog and a beer at the game for my Uncle, then I had to have some hot chocolate because I was cold!!! Of course, the Bears won that Day, we played against the Detroit Lions!
These pictures are from that day after, we know that he was watching down on us!
You must've been pretty high for those tower photos. Only other place I recognize offhand is the museum. The Bears victory must've felt iconic when you were there in your Uncle's memory.
ReplyDeleteI just love the fact that the Bears play at Soldier's Field, now that's how you represent the America's Veterans. Sorry for the reason for the trip.
