Another blissfully lazy morning. We stayed in our hotel until check out. Wanted to get our money's worth. When we left the hotel it was sunny! The first sunshine that I had seen in a week! Ah to feel the sun on your skin! So it we decided to try Navy Pier again. It was so much nicer this time around! The rides were operating, we were able to go on a few of them.
Brooklyn wanted to go on the swing rides, well I can't do them anymore, or I would have, I enjoy them. Don decided to be a girl and hold Brooklyn's doll so she could go on by herself because he was a scaredey cat! Hahahahaha 
We went on the ferris wheel next. It is over 150 feet tall and moves very slowly, and never stops you have to get on and off while it's moving. 
Well I am not a huge fan of heights, and at one point near the top I thought it had stopped moving and that we were stuck so I started to freak a bit and wouldn't let them talk...tee hee. But we got down safely. They went on the lighthouse drop. 
That looked fun! 
Then the we went on the merry go round. 
Fun and not high off the ground. 
We also went on a river boat architecture tour. It was awesome going up the Chicago River looking at all the building and hearing their stories.

The Wrigley Building
The Tribune Building
And the Sears Tower from the water side 
Last but not least, I left out the Water Tower building, it is on the Mag Mile. It is one of the oldest buildings in Chicago and was one of the only buildings to survive the fire.
So there is a bit of our vacation. Maybe I will post more random pictures later, but you have a pretty good idea of what we spent our time doing.
