Weekend in Chicago

Before the concert
So this weekend was defiantly one for the books! My boyfriend , Jordan, surprised me with concert tickets to the Boys of Zummers tour at my graduation party a couple months back. He decided to get the Chicago tickets because I have never been before.

A couple weeks before the trip we decide it is going to be the two of us and we were going to take my car... that was the plan up until 3 days before we left. His dad wanted to buy cubs tickets and go along with us too, which was fine because Jordan wanted to go to the game and this meant we didn't have to pay for gas.

So we arrive in Joliet, IL around 3pm and leave for Tinely Park (where the concert was) around 5:30pm. The traffic was crazy, for example there were young men drinking Budweiser in the truck in front of us and throwing the cans out the window. When we finally arrive and get inside Hoodie Allen was already on stage playing. I have seen him in concert once before and he is AMAZING. The place got more and more packed when Wiz came on and finally Fall out boy comes out around 9:30pm. It was alot of fun even if we got rained on toward the end.
              

The next day we wake up and go to a Chicago Cubs game! Me and Jordan had VIP bleacher tickets so we got to go into the stadium 5 minutes before everyone else. Grown men were sprinting to their seats... it was like nothing I have ever seen before. It was sweltering hot, the sun was brutal, but I got the attention of the Cub's pitching coach and he threw me a ball! I didn't catch it but I made him throw it our way. It was fun besides the heat, and my sunburned chest. A great weekend and I am grateful I got to spend it with Jordan!
