JohnandHollyZ: Lots to catch up on...

Hey gang, it's been forever so I thought I'd finally catch everyone up on just what the heck has been going on. Well first off, last weekend was the NFL Draft and it was frickin' awesome!!! Our first round draft choice was Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry...say hi Aaron and welcome to Seattle:

As you can see, I was very upset by this pick, Holly even captured the moment:

And here are a couple of more pics where I expressed my anger :)

Ok, now on to the next topic. Last week I had a business trip to Chicago, I absolutely love Chi-town and I had a great time. I also had a chance to have some free time and take some cool pics:

Here is the iconic Michigan Mile sign where they have TONS of shopping, good thing Holly didn't join me on this trip!

And here is a tribute to 'Da Coach'

They had these really cool buildings and here is a couple of pics outside of one of the churches. I think it was a Catholic church because there were a bunch of young boys hanging around - hey oh! You can't help but appreciate the architecture and I thought these blue trees were really cool.

How about this pic, isn't it cool? The building on the right is the Trump Hotel & Towers - I think the design was called a "comb over". It was a really incredible building and I just loved this shot I got with the clouds reflecting off the building...very impressive.

This next shot was the Chicago Theater and if you pay attention to the Billboard you will notice it talks about the "Speaker Series". Later that night I attended an event with Chris Matthews, Arianna Huffington, Paul Begala, and Tucker Carlson. It was awesome!! It was great to see them all live since I watch them often on TV. The conversation was very entertaining, smart, and insightful... bascially the exact opposite of watching Sean Hannity.

And finally what would a trip be without a trip to historic Wrigley Field. It was a completely different experience than Safeco, very historic and "old school". It was a great time and how 'bout them seats!
