Tourists for a day (night)

Here is our brave son climing a rope bridge, 3 stories up. He didn't even flinch, we were amazed!



Today was a gorgeous fall day, crisp and clear and just the slightest bit chilly. For months, every time we drove downtown and went by the ferris wheel, Ben asked to ride it. So, we finally drove down and picked up Steven from work and headed to the most popular tourist spot in Chicago, Navy Pier. We had a BLAST! It was a beautiful evening, we ate Subway sandwiches outside, rode the ferris wheel, and went to the Children's Museum (free on Thursday evenings). I remember now why we don't go more often, it is EXPENSIVE. $20 to park, $24 for all four of us to ride the ferris wheel, $8 for Subway sandwiches...definitely a splurge. The kids loved it all...even the ferris wheel. The view from on top was stunning! Ben's favorite part was that the lights turned on while we were riding. A great family memory!
