August 1, 2009 - Downtown Chicago



We made an impromptu trip to Chicago where we took a boat ride down the Chicago River followed by spectacular view of the fireworks from the Lake. Loved it. Leah loved it, thinking she owned the boat. Kara actually did well. I was kinda schocked. We had never taken that trip in the evening. We loved seeing he skyline at night. How beautiful! Never really realized how bright the top of the John Hancock building was at night. Have to admit thought, seeing the Sears Tower and trying to think of it as the Willis Tower was really weird. Silly British people renaming that. :)

  3. Heidi, we missed you bunches, too. Ally will be a hoot come this Christmas. Can't wait.

    Harris, it was actually very humid, but with the wind, it was cool on the Lake. It was quite beautiful!
