Each day we had been getting into the city around 1:30 pm. So each day we would get hungry for lunch. We were smart to pack lunches before hand to picnic along our way to wherever we were going. Today we picniced along the Chicago river, across from Trump Tower. The day before we had picniced in Millennium Park.
We were heading toward Navy Pier. It was crowded with tourists and fast food chains. We did ride the ferris wheel. We saw out into Lake Michigan and right into the tall buildings right in front of the city.

After our ride on the ferris wheel, we stopped in Haagen Dazs for ice cream. We had done a lot of walking today and we were ready to take a rest. When we had regained our energy, we explored the Navy Pier Mall to find a Build a Bear Workshop where we decided to stop. Lucas and Rinn built a toothless dragon from the movie How to Train Your Dragon and Sam built a bunny who she named Oliver.
After we hung around Navy Pier, we headed towards our 7:30 showing of Assassination Theatre show that my Aunt Brenda had hooked us up with tickets to see. It was about JFK’s assassination and the conspiracy around it. It used real sources to prove that Lee Harvey Oswald was not the only shooter and how it was all staged.
We all enjoyed it. Myself, being the technical theatre geek I am was extremely happy with the lighting and sound. Tomorrow we are going to the Field Museum then likely going shopping afterwards.
