One of the highlights of the night was getting to see the Cubs' World Series trophy. (We'll have access to the photos tomorrow). They had the trophy on the second floor and when we tried to go up the east stairs, we were stopped and told we couldn't go up there. Well, how are we supposed to get up since we can't fly? The security guard finally figured out that we can go upstairs and directed us to the west stairs. When we got to the second floor, the security guard there told us we had to enter from the east stairs. We told them they need to communicate that to the staff on the first floor. Needless to say, we weren't happy after climbing the east stairs again to see a trophy that, frankly, I, as a St. Louis Cardinals fan, could care less about.
After posing for our picture with the trophy, we went outside for the BBQ. The weather was perfect and the food was good - barbecued beef (or pork, I couldn't really tell) and chicken, tomato salad, pasta salad, fries and corn muffins. Dessert was coconut ice cream - no thanks.
Me and my girls.
As we were leaving the museum, we were ushered past a table of freebies. We got some little backpacks, beach balls, sunglasses and two books. It did make up a little for the parking fee and the clueless security guard.
