Natalie did it. She survived a 1543.2 mile road trip over the course of seven days to Chicago, the St. Louis area, back to Chicago and home. The trip also included a Ben Folds/Rufus/Bee Lee concert (however, we left before Ben Folds took the stage) and multiple walks/trips to the doggie parks with Casey. It was a blast, as Matt, Morgan and the Kientz family were all wonderful hosts.
P.S. About 3.22 seconds after this picture was taken (at Wrigley on 8/11), one of the main reasons I wanted to see the game, Duffballs captain Albert Pujols, deposited this Greg Maddux pitch into the left center field stands. As you can see by the picture, Matt and I were very fortunate to have nice seats.
