Did you think I was done with my USA vacation pictures. If you did, you're wrong! I have plenty more pics to share (*giggle*). Here we go!!
When traveling to Chicago, there is one place every tourist must see. I'm talking about awesome Navy Pier! It is like a huge playground where you can find things to do for everyone at any age. Navy Pier is owned by a not-for-profit corporation that was established to maintain Navy Pier as a historic public landmark and oversee its redevelopment. Navy Pier offers rides, promenades, fireworks, gardens, shops, an IMAX theater, restaurants and all types of attractions. You also get an amazing view of the Chicago skyline from the Pier.
We were spoiled by Navy Pier because they gave us free tickets to their rides. Yes, we might have been too old for the carousel (*the guy who checked our tickets asked if it was just us or if we had any kids*) but we had fun! We also went to the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel because it is a definite must-see when in Chicago. Anyway, less talk, more pictures...

Roasted almond shop (*it was closed because we went to take some pictures early in the morning*).
Healthy and yummy salad for lunch!
Water fountain.
Gorgeous skyline of Chicago.
Ready for a ride at the Ferris Wheel?

Jenna went to the Wave swinger.
Scott and I decided that Wave Swinger might not be the best idea after lunch and went to the Musical Carousel instead.
Inside Navy Pier's Family Pavilion.
Since it was a nice day, we spent most of our time outside. We checked out all the cool boats docked at Navy Pier.
Here's the skyline again.
Group picture time!
All the fun must come to an end (*sad but true*), and eventually we had to go back to our hotel. We used the Navy Pier Free Trolley to takes us there.
Also, don't forget to enter my raffle to win free tickets to a Chicago river cruise. Read more about it here. You only have till end of this month.
