More Summer Fun

It's funny, you think since there are no super big vacation plans this summer it'd be a pretty quiet summer.. but then, this is Chicago and there's always something fun to do.

So we've been doing little things here and there. The other week we had some fun with a good friend. She's pretty new to the Chicago area, so she's not been to all the touristy spots. So, her birthday was coming up and she was interested in visiting Navy Pier, and I hadn't ridden their new Ferris wheel  so, to Navy Pier we went!

We wandered through the whole big thing.. We started at the front in the park and fountain at the head of the pier.

Then, we headed inside.. wandered around, hit the conservatory, then walked all the way to the back end.

he saw the big ship and then he was yelling, "ARRRRRR! I'm a pirate!"

Finally, we enjoyed the view from the top of the Ferris wheel:

And the next week we went to the zoo!

So, perhaps no traveling great distances, but there's no question that summer is the best time to be in this city.
