Crystal and I head off to Navy Pier, for some good ol' fashioned Chicago fun! Navy Pier is a Chicago tourism favorite, filled with silly shows, thrilling speedster boat rides, carnival style booths and games, sweet treats and most recognizable, a ferris wheel the height of a 14 story building! I took this one! It's my favorite of the day.
It was a foggy day with horrible photography conditions,
so was not too hopeful about winning that sweet t-shirt up for grabs, in fact I almost gave up altogether. I mean, these kids are crazy talented and nothing I could snap would ever stand up to their sweet skills (said with a Dynamite-esk slur).
Then we had a little fun in front of the funhouse mirrors. I smell friendship!
But Crystal didn't really enjoy the way the mirror accentuated our hips! ;)And finally, already running late for work, we both agreed the adventure wouldn't be complete without a ride on the famous ferris wheel!
The most beautiful view of the Chicago skyline, and I had to be on the top of the ferris wheel on the perfect "June Gloom" day. So frustrating! I felt defeated as I had looked all day for the perfect opportunity to present itself. And then I noticed this tagged on the seat of the gondola. It couldn't have defined the day any better...
I smiled at Crystal and she smiled back. Ok, so maybe I am limited in my photo skills and maybe Chicago NEVER provides the right lighting for a perfect photo shoot, but I have quickly learned that it never seems to matter. It's all about the Adventure!
And of course no Adventure would be complete without a souvenir:
Pretty sweet tattoo, huh mom?
