On Sunday we were going to go to the beach, but the weather wasn’t cooperating. We ended up going on a Wendella boat tour. The tour we chose was the hour-long Chicago River Architecture Tour It went on both the north and the south branches of the river, then just to the lake, and back to the dock at Michigan Avenue. Some facts on the tour I knew but there were tons I didn’t know. And it was cool to see everything from a different point of view. I spoke to Amanda a short while ago and she said Jess is still talking about riding the train and not about the long boat ride we went on!

We spent Father’s Day at the Chicago Children’s Museum and walking around Navy Pier. Fun day, sunny day – I got a little sunburned even. I have more photos from the pier that I’ll upload later.

Newhart at the Pier

This is Bob’s lonely new permanent home, after he was moved from Michigan Ave. I know that no one is at Navy Pier in the winter and in the summer he’ll get a ton of attention, but on Michigan Avenue the crowds NEVER go away. He’d be having so much more fun if they’d have left him there.

Chicago Flower & Garden Show

Chicago Flower & Garden Show
Chicago Flower & Garden Show, Navy Pier, Chicago

To be honest, the only reason I wanted to go to the Chicago Flower & Garden Show was to practice taking photographs with the manual functions of my camera. Unforch, the lighting was terrible. Washed out in some spots, weird shadows in other. It is in a convention center, afterall. Still it was nice to smell the flowers, see some color, and feel some soft green grass.

I’m not terribly happy with most of these photos, but here’s the rest, after the jump.
