Navy Pier
On our last morning, before taking our flight home we walked to the Navy Pier..... named of course, because of formerly being used as a training facility. But, currently it is the home to shops, restaurants and entertainment of all sorts..... You can rent bicycles or Segways, take a boat cruise, ice skate, ride a roller coaster with a view or just watch people.... We didn't have NEAR long enough, but we enjoyed our visit.

You can barely see that there are "Tall Ships" in port for a week or so..... |

Beautiful Buildings...
Architecture in Chicago is definitely a highlight.... some of these photos came from walking around the town, but some were from our architecturally based river cruise....
