We hit a lot of the tourist spots in Chicago. The morning began walking around and taking in the flavor of the city. We made our way to the incredible Millennium Park where we played with the aforementioned Bean. But we also took in the head sculptures by Crown Fountain and were treated to an open rehearsal of the Grant Park Orchestra! We made our way down to the Navy Pier. It is under construction now and according to a local, lacking a bit in ambience. We had cheezborgers there, played mini golf, rode the ferris wheel et cetera until our architectural boat ride later in the afternoon. That worked for everyone--speed boat ride on the lake and building/city facts on the river. We were surprised to go through a lock to enter the city. We learned that way back the direction of the river was reversed so as not to pollute the drinking supply from the lake. We were hoping to find Chicago style pizza for dinner but were too tired to either seek out a restaurant or do the long Friday wait. Next time!
