My husband and I went to Chicago for a trade show ,
I had heard about the Navy pier, and wasn't real sure what it was all about.
The first day we arrived we took a water taxi from the shed museum to the Pier,
Upon arriving at the pier I was in Awe...
It was such a beautiful, fun filled place.
On one side there are several different kinds of boats/ships to take out on the beautiful lake Michigan,
From quick casual to fine dining and cruise.
There are bike rentals, and booths were you can get a quick bite,
There is also a wide variety of dining choices , we ate at a small burger joint, the last day we were there,,It wasn't very good.
But there is way better choices like Bubba gumps.
The pier has a few good shopping choices and a beautiful stained glass museum.
The ferris wheel adds to the state fair feel to the pier, and affords beutiful views from the top.
My favorite part is just sitting at the end of the pier and enjoying the view of the lake and sail boats.
The pier is full of history and you can read about it in plaques on the pier.
I just learned that scenes in the new Batman movie were filmed there,
Millions visit every year, and if you are in Chicago it is a must see.
