While there, the skies opened and it started pouring. Fortunately, we were packing umbrellas. We still got fairly wet on the walk to the train, but not too bad. By the time we arrived at our stop, it had pretty much stopped. On the train, a lady told Stephen that her grandson whispered to her that Stephen looked like Justin Bieber.<\/p>\n<p>The rain stopping was good cause we were going to a White Sox game.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.craigmashburn.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2050.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"IMG_2050\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_2050\" src=\"https:\/\/www.craigmashburn.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2050_thumb.jpg\" width=\"580\" height=\"436\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Stanley Cup made an appearance\u2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.craigmashburn.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/P1030463.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"P1030463\" border=\"0\" alt=\"P1030463\" src=\"https:\/\/www.craigmashburn.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/P1030463_thumb.jpg\" width=\"580\" height=\"328\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The White Sox lost to the Orioles.
