Sunday 28th July 2013
Today saw us up early with plans to walk around the city and check out all the sites. Made our way into downtown where we went to the Millennium Park and 'the cloud.' Walked around the downtown area and under the 'L' train line. Made our way to Willis Tower where we lined up for two hours to get to the top. The wait was worth it and the view was simply stunning. Walked to the lake and checked out the parks and gardens where we had a look at the big fountain that is there. We then walked along the lake edge all the way to Navy Pier where it was packed with people. There was a combination of kids, rides, cruises and food. Decided to have dinner on the pier before walking back to the hotel room. We spent all day standing and walking so it was time for some rest. Off to DMC Midwest tomorrow to meet Julee and Dave and then on to Le Claire Iowa to drop in and see the American Pickers, Mike, Frank and Danny. Slowly now making our way south to St Louis.
