My vacation weekend with family in Chicago, IL & South Bend, IN report…

 Hi there….,

  First of all I enjoy my job when I take care of dogs & etc for my job. It’s a great job to have.   For one of health goals I need to try walk 10,000 steps per day.  Last Thursday I walked 15,082 steps (09/08/2022) when I walked four dogs that’s day before heading on my short mini weekend vacation.  

Day 1:  On short weekend vacation to Chicago, IL & South Bend, IN.  I woke up early on Friday morning (09/09/2022) & decide the take a quick Uber to Ronald Regan National Airport.  I attended to fly to Chicago, IL to visit family & other events also.  I took the “L” or the CTA to see my family exclusively as soon as I can.  We had a late lunch when I got in town.  More about my vacation later this weekend.  We got some Mediterranean food for our lunch. Older brother had work to do when I was town anyway.  It was very good salad with lamb in it.   I relaxed that afternoon.  That evening we took one of the nephews to soccer practice & we went out bird watching area but we got confused around the area on how to get back because someone was on the phone while we were walking around.   We grab carry-out at a great placed named Big Star because they have awesome tacos they have.  Step’s count at the end day was 13,162.

 Day 2:  Someone had to work some & do laundry before we headed out to South Bend, IN. from Chicago, IL. to check out the South Bend, IN house's before the ND FOOTBALL vs Marshall around 2:30pm edt later that day.  As we got to the area we went to ND CAMPUS to hangout before the game.  We got hungry so we got some brats & drinks while on campus.  So the just we just needed food before going into the game just to save our money while in there.  We just got large drinks (souvenir cups) then we got water from the water fountains to keep hydrated.  The outcome of the game wasn't very great.  We waited allot so lots of people to leave the stadium so it was would be easier to travel away.  We went ahead & tried to go to Rocco's because we wanted but we thought it would be to busy after game.  2 (two) people get in for dinner pretty quickly for us tonight.  My step count was 11,620 during this day. 

Day 3:

Day 4:

 As a UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH FOOTBALL fan isn't happy about the season has started.  My take on this is that we have a young coach & our 1st starting QB has being up and down for both games then got injured badly so he out for the season so the back up is starting this Saturday game.  GO IRISH!!!

 College Football Rankings after ND FOOTBALL record is 0 & 2.  As you can see they aren't in rankings anymore.
