The Shedd and Navy Pier

Besides shopping,

 we did go to at least one educational locale -

the Shedd Aquarium!

 

Such a cool place -- loved it --even though some of those

fishes and things kind of creeped me out to tell the truth!

 

Anyway, it was such a lovely day, we took a water taxi

over to Navy Pier after the Shedd!

 

 

What fun!

If I lived there, I'd be taking water taxis instead of "street" taxis

whenever I could!

 

 

We looked around a bit on Navy Pier.
Maddy got some chicken nuggets and fries
(her fave meal!).
Then we got very brave!

 

 

Maddy and I rode the Wave Swinger!
What a blast! 

They do not skimp on the number times that

thing swings you around. 

 

 

Before our ride, I counted and

the operator (or maybe it's automatic?) had the

wave swinger go around 25 times!

 

 

We screamed and fluttered our arms up and down like we

were flying!!!

 

Another great memory from our quick getaway

to the big City.
