A Keel and a Wheel: Navy Pier

We went to Navy Pier with the Cruisers on the most gorgeous day.

It was gray and rainy the day before, so we really appreciated this.

Make sure to eat before you go because the food offerings are rather limited and unimpressive at Navy Pier.  Even so, we managed to secure an Italian beef sandwich for Mr. Cruiser at America's Dog.

Mr. Monkey and I each had a dog.  Ms. Cruiser got a salad at another food court eatery.

We all shared some Garrett popcorn.

So very Chicago.

Then we headed to the Tall Ship Windy for a short sail.

It was a relaxing way to get some nice city views.

We couldn't go to Navy Pier and not ride the Ferris wheel.

Pretty cool views from up there, too.

I'll leave you with some bonus pics from walking around Chicago the previous day.

We love Chicago, and we love it even more when we go there with our friends.
