Guilty's Baseball Adventure

Thin Mint is planning a sensational trip to Italy.  Sounds great to me.  I know it's going to be an unforgettable Gastronomic adventure.  What a fantastic vacation she's working on.

I have another trip in mind.  Guilty turns the Big 60 this summer and yet, in many ways I am still a 12 year old boy. I am sure it's no surprise to anyone, I was quite Guiltorious back in 1966. Baseball was my world. Shea Stadium, Connie Mack Stadium and Wrigley Field Field were my sanctuaries.  I loved the Boys of Summer.  I also loved the over indulgence you enjoyed at the ballpark.

To celebrate my milestone birthday, I am planning a Baseball road trip.  We fly to Chicago and enjoy the passion of the Windy City.  From Navy pier to the Gold Coast to Hyde Park, the Second City is city of Fun and adventure. The restaurants are world class. The comedy clubs are awesome and we'll catch a Cubs game or two at Wrigley.

Then we'll drive north to Milwaukee to visit with club members along Lake Michigan. Sharing Guilty Pleasures is always a blast. Then we'll check out the Brewers at Miller Park.  It's spectacular new stadium and an engineering marvel.  Of course, around the seventh inning, we'll slip away and find a German Beer Garden along Lake Michigan.  After savoring some local microbrews, there will be a prearranged Bratwurst tasting or two. In the summertime, Wisconsin has countless Guilty Pleasures waiting for us to enjoy.

With brats in hand, we head west to Minneapolis and root for the Twins in their beautiful new Downtown Ballpark, Target Field.   Along the way, we enjoy great food, an endless local Fish Fry and share stories with club members in the Heartland who enthusiastically tell us Thanks for Living Well.  Funny, that's what people convey to us around the globe.
