A day of heat and less walking!

Well, Golden Wedge, Nonie, Ayli, Cats and Rex had quite a day! Got smart today and took taxi's to locations... ONly about $2 per person... less than train and SOOO much easier!! DUH!! Why did we not do this yesterday!! It was just like having warping abilities in RL! Enter here... exit at desired location! What magic!

Well, first stop was a ride on the SeaDog Architectural boat tour with a speed boat twist. Did a little speed boat action out on lake Michigan before hitting the canal for a tour of the buildings along the route. Of course, got wet in the first part but with the 100+ temperatures, no one was complaining! (Photo of the five of us to be posted soon...).

Next stop was the Navy Pier where we sat in the big attrium and cooled off and had ice cream. Then we hit the 'cone' store and each bought a mini 'city cone'. These, of course, will be featured in photos to come.

We then took another taxi to the John Hancock building where we checked sky deck hours then set off toward Morton's Steak House where we were to eat, stopping in stores along the way, which were rated, not on the content and quality of their merchandise, but the temperature of their interior!!

Dinner at Morton's was excellent, Cats was a pig, but I told him I would not say anything, so shhhhh! Of course, we have photos. I believe it was the first time that this fancy restaurant ever had patrons set up orange cones on the table!! Go figure!

Dinner was followed by a walk down to the John Hancock building to visit the Sky Deck. Great view of the city (no clouds, as was the case with the Sears Tower visit the first day). Watched the sun set on the 94th floor, very nice. The elevators quit so we had to walk down the 94 floors, oh wait, that's not right, they did finally get them fixed!!

Another taxi ride back to the ol' Holiday Inn where I sit here and share!!! I'll be posting photos of the days adventures ASAP.

Shorah!
