Last night (Thursday), we went to Lawry's Prime Rib. It's been 20 years since I've been there, but it was just as good as I remembered. One of the best prime rib dinners I've had.
Today, Nancy and I did our own walking tour of Chicago. We went to the Navy Pier, walked the Magnificent Mile, and Millennium Park. It was a typical Chicago day, cold, cloudy and windy. At the Navy Pier, we decided to take a boat tour. We went on the Architecture Tour on the Chicago River. Very worthwhile. Good views of the buildings and a guide with lots of information (for the Long Islanders, he was from East Northport). When I bought the tickets for the tour, the sign said Architecture and Speedboat Tour. I assumed they were different tours. Wrong! After this pleasant boat ride down the Chicago River, they took us for a spin on Lake Michigan, Just what we needed to make a cold day colder.
The walk down the Magnificent Mile was interesting. We got close up views of Chicago's buildings.
The Millennium Park was very interesting. An outdoor theater with a large lawn, gardens, fountains, and my favorite ... the Bean ... a large, kidney shaped, reflective statue. Everyone takes a picture of themselves reflected in the statue (as did we). The interior is curved allowing you to take a picture of someone and their reflection. There's a good one of Nancy in the attached pictures. Here's the link:
