More Chicago Pictures

Soldier Field where the Chicago Bears play

Chicago Harbor on Lake Michigan. There are over 5,000 boat slips to rent and all of them are booked and there is a waiting list. WOW!

Navy Pier. My conference was actually held here so I had more time to spend here. Great place!

The ferris wheel

Us along the Chicago River

Waiting on our architectural boat tour and fireworks tour along the Chicago River

Chicago night skyline

We enjoyed a fireworks show out in the middle of Lake Michigan during our night tour. The Chicago River is actually 2 feet lower than Lake Michigan so we had to sit in a Lock area to be raised 2 feet so we could get to Lake Michigan and do the same going back. It was cool and WINDY!

The view from our hotel. Our hotel was along the Chicago River. You can see the Chicago River run into Lake Michigan.

Overall we enjoyed Chicago and are looking forward to returning sometime soon to finish the things we did not get to see. The buildings are gorgeous with some much architectural detail. It was a beautiful and clean city! We loved Chicago!!!!!!!!
