We rode the Metra downtown. After walking through the streets of downtown Chicago, into a very lovely park, and past hundreds of really fancy boats with funny names, we finally arrived at Navy Pier!
Nate visits with Bob Newhart (he says hi, Steve):
Navy Pier has a Carousel, a miniature golf course, tons of restaurants and shops, remote control boats, a swing ride, and an awesome Ferris Wheel.
Despite Nate's fear of heights, we got on the ferris wheel. Here was our view from the top:
Nate was very brave.
More fun at the Pier:
And no Hensley outing can be complete without a delicious, Chicago-style hot dog.
Tuesdays are the days we will be out exploring our fair city because Nate doesn't have class those days. Yippee!!!
Well, that looks REALLY fun! I held my breath looking at the pictures from the ferris wheel. EEK! Tuesdays are the best!
ReplyDeleteLove you both,

I think I would have stayed on the Merry-Go-Round with all the four year olds.
ReplyDeleteWhy is there a statue of Bob Newhart at the Navy Pier?
Yay for Tuesdays! Can't wait to see new pictures every Wednesday!
BIRD WOMAN! i want to go to there.
ReplyDeleteNavy Pier is a tourist trap, but it's fun when the weather is nice. i like nate's sweater.
