Visiting Illinois.....A Day Trip to Chicago!

Here it is Labor Day weekend  over & boy what a difference at the campgrounds!!! On the weekends, there are still a few stragglers, but during the week.....Lennie & I are the only people out there!!! 
No more wash tub races....

Anyone for a dip?

Where did everyone go!?!

aaaaah peace at last!

September 6,2014 Today Lennie & I are going to Chicago. Since we will be gone too long for Otis, Otis is going to have to go to the Dog Kennel! We've used this kennel before, & Kennel is not the right word for this place, this is a Pet Resort down on the farm!
Otis, always anxious to go.....
even when he doesn't know where he's going!
See you later Otis.....we know you're in good hands! Now we're off to Chicago!

Our goal for today is just to have fun doing the things we miss in Chicago! Like eating, the skyline, downtown, Navy Pier, & luck would have it......tonight at Navy Pier was Venetian Night(boat  parade) We haven't seen Venetian Night in YEARS!!!!

Yummmmm Al's #1 Italian Beef!

Welcome to Chinatown!

Chicago's skyline from Navy Pier


We never get to do this!?!

A common sight in downtown Chicago!

ooooh yes!!!!

Going to try this some visit in the near future!


Full moon over Lake Michigan

Chicago's skyline is beautiful day or night!

Venetian Night's boat parade!




After the parade.....FIREWORKS!!!!



Ferris wheel at Navy Pier, no we didn't ride it!

We hadn't eaten since our Italian beef, now it's after 9:00pm, everything was closing!!!! We managed to find a restaurant open! We always seem to manage!!!!
Then that LOOOOONNNG drive back from Chicago to the countryside! We didn't get back to the campgrounds till after 1:00am!!! Good thing Otis was "at the farm"!?!
