Chicago Architectural Boat Tour!

The architectural significance of Chicago cannot be underplayed.  It was still a hot evening, but a delightful way to spend it.

Everyone contributed:

• I planned the tour.
• Chris reminded us that we wanted to get to the boat early to get a seat up front. 
• Dave figured out how to have ice cream at Ghirardelli's before hand.
• Jen (PhD) noticed that the very front of the queue was indeed in the shade, and ushered us up to be first in line to board.

And god damn if it all didn't work.  We got primo pole position seats up front.  Highlights of what we saw are below, including the Sears Tower.  It's so odd that these buildings don't really look that much bigger than the skyscrapers at home.  However, that is why perspective is such a fascinating thing.  Since all of them are about 2x taller than the IDS, they all look the same.  

I'm so glad we did this tour again.  And our friends loved it too!
