A week ago, Georgie and I went together to Navy Pier. The place is sort of an amusement park on a pier (a bit like the 19th century British concept, e.g. Blackpool, although this one dates back from 1916, while have been totally renovated as early as 1995).
One of the biggest attractions is the Ferris Wheel, which, by the way, was first unveiled in Chicago during the Columbus Exposition of 1893 (so, you could say that the Ferris Wheel is a Chicago product; the name Ferris is the family name of its inventor, Illinois-born). We rode on it, of course.
We also went to the Children's Museum, one of the best around here, and saw the pirate dance. All in all, 4 and a half hours of fun!
