A Watery View of Chicago

---

In August, Grace and I made it to Chitown to take an architectual boat tour. Neither of us had done one before and it was what our friend up there wanted to do for his birthday. It was unique way to see a fantastic city. We also attended a White Sox game at US Cellular Field.
