Chicago Skyline!
More Chicago Skyline!!
See that gold dome at the top of the building? Guess what it is? Three guesses? I will tell you it is not used AND it was NEVER used! It was intended to be a BLIMP docking station but the Hindenburg kind of ruined everything so they decided to scratch the idea!
I love little tidbits of information that you get on Double Decker Buses!!
We then had fun at the Navy Pier!
Our ONLY family photo!!
We poked around,ate lunch and watched a sailboat race!!
A fun filled day! Architecture, food,gazing at the Ferris Wheel
( I had no takers willing to ride),a sail boat race to top it all off and we hopped in a cab before the afternoon rainstorm hit!!
I do hope these folks were as lucky!!
What part of the day would have been your favorite? Or would you have preferred hanging at the hotel and skipped the whole adventure

Looks like a fun time! I would have ridden the ferris wheel with you. It’s one of the few rides I will ride.
what a fun trip love seeing it through your eyes now i want to visit
Great pictures! Sounds like a fun tip. Love the anecdote about the blimp docking station. Very cool!
I love the Navy Pier ferris wheel! For our wedding, we went to a park between Navy Pier and the city. One of my favorite wedding shots has that ferris wheel in the background. You can see it here: http://somispeaks.com/2008/12/02/asides/
I’ve never been to Chicago – but you have me sold on it! My favorite part of visiting cities is just walking around and window shopping.
Oh wow! These photos are fantastic, Lucy! Good times!
I don’t know what it is, but I’m really drawn to being around water these days. Must be the summer heat.
