Kayak the Shores of Chicago

We made it into the city! Most people go by car, some by the metra... WE GO BY KAYAK!

    We went with our friends Dave and Hannah Knecht and boy oh boy did we have oodles of fun! Being in Chicago is like walking through a movie. I mean there have been some great movies filmed here..  Home Alone, Source Code, August Rush, Bourne Legacy, the Fugitive, Return to Me (My Fav!) and let's not forget the famous Ferris Bueller's Day Off! You can't blame me for feeling that way right?       Also while we were there, it was free Museum Day.. so we went to the Alder Planetarium. Quite the informational place and there are a lot to see.       This picture shows just how interested Brian was in the place. There was too much to look at and so he couldn't even stop for a second for a picture haha      We tried a moon launcher. Hannah and Dave seemed to really enjoy it! But kayaking on Lake Michigan.. now that was wonderful. We could not have chosen a more perfect day to go either. It was a great way to view the city. And it was peaceful... on the water it was smooth and quiet whereas looking into the city was a hussle and bussle of cars and people. I enjoyed just watching it all happen.

Since the scenery isn't complete without a picture of my feet...

   I want to go again already! We are already planning a time to kayak up the Chicago river this time and be right in the middle of it all-but still away from all the craziness. It's a whole new and wonderful perspective!
