Navy Pier
This week I had an appointment in Chicago and the University of Chicago Medical Center. Some know that we've had troubles with loosing babies late, and for that last two years, early, and everytime. Sofar all boys...the University of Chicago is conducting research on this type of problem as there is no answer for what is going on. Anyhow....my husband and I flew to Chicago, not really knowing what to expect.
And were pleasantly surprised. It was beautiful, at least where we were down by the lake. It was getting dark when we arrived to our hotel and had to hurry out to see something. Navy Pier was just a block away.
The weather couldn't have been better. I think 80's compared to our whopping 100+. There were many little parks and you can rent a bike to ride on the paths up and down Lake Michigan. Which I would definitely recommend over driving over there :-) That was an interesting experience in itself and we were in a cab. We were literally just a few inches away from other people int heir cars. I can't believe the cars weren't touching. Our cab drivers were both very courteous and honest.
There was alot of activity on the lake. They had cruises coming and going. The tallships were there and that was fun to see. Too bad we didn't have time to ride on one.
In the evening, we had supper down along the canal below at a little cafe. Once we returned to our room, we had a treat. The firework that were going off over the lake could be viewed from our window. It was really a nice trip, despite how short we were there. Next day I had my appointment and we flew home.
