We're spending the last week of the MLB regular season in the Chicago area, where we will begin our next adventure traveling down Route 66.

After seeing a pair of Brewers-Cardinals games at Busch Stadium, we're curious to see if the two teams will face off in the postseason. In the meantime, we'll experience a couple of firsts in Chicago with our first-ever visit to United Center on Wednesday and Patti's first-ever game at Soldier Field on Sunday.

Ron also has a big surprise planned for Patti on Thursday.

We will be back in the St. Louis area on Oct. 6, where Ron will do a book signing in Fairview Heights, Ill., with a special giveaway.
