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!
