Gilliam Family: CUBS

This fall was dominated by the Cubs. Zeb has always been a huge Cubs fan. This has become a big part of our relationship over the years. It was one of the appeals to move from Iowa to Chicago and the location of our previous condo (on Addison street). Going to Cubs game and events has been shared with our family and friends. This year, Zeb had the opportunity to purchase season tickets and it ended up being a pretty great first year! We started off the season with a trip to Arizona for Spring Training. We were able to go to many games throughout the season. Of course, we were then thrilled at the amazing success of the 2016 Cubs. We loved every minute of their post season success through winning the World Series. Zeb went to some of the early playoff games. We were so excited to be at Wrigley for the Division Series championship to send them to the World Series. Zeb was able to attend Game 4 of the World Series at Wrigley. We went out to join in with what seemed like the rest of Chicago to see the other World Series games including the night they won. It was such an amazing experience to share with so many people. We then took the boys the following day to Wrigley and I was able to take them to the parade (chose to watch from a safe distance at the lake front instead of fighting the massive crowds downtown). Zeb and I continued our celebration by attending the movie premier of the Cubs World Series movie. We can't wait for this next season and are planning a repeat tip to Spring Training!
