Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow....
It has been a couple of very exhausting weeks for us.....so today after working for most of the day we decided to just take a breather and do nothing. That is no more work. We played hooky and went to Navy Pier... Chicago's top tourist attraction which offers 50 acres of parks, gardens (beer and botanical), shops, restaurants, cultural attractions and a 150-foot Ferris wheel.
There is just so much to do there. First of course we walked from our apartment and let me tell you that was no easy feat. This is a city of pedestrians and bicycles. Many a times we were almost run over by these busy runners, walkers and people on bicycles. Even so it was fun dodging these ferocious people....makes for an interesting walk.
Of course we had to have something to drink. Arvid has a huge selection of beer on tap to choose from...... he was in heaven. I decided on Haagen Daz chocolate ice cream......was delicious.
Every Saturday and Wednesday nights all summer long Navy Pier has fireworks. We saw it last weekend and I will say it is amazing. A full 30 minutes long of non-stop fireworks.....seeing it right now from our living room.
We are looking forward to exploring the city and to enjoying it to the fullest.......
Life is like sailing. You can use any wind to go in any direction.
Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be......
until next time......
