Navy Pier Chicago








Because of Memorial Day, we had a long weekend in de USA. One extra day to enjoy the hot weather predicted for that weekend. Everybody was leaving town to escape the heat and enjoy the country side. We decided to go into Chicago and check out the Navy Pier. It was constructed in 1916 as a commercial shipping pier and renamed in honor of the Nay in 1927. Today, the pier is multi-use complex and a docking site for large dinner cruise ships and Lake Michigan tour boats. The very welcome breeze certainly made our stay there pleasant as did the nice cold beer and great views of the Chicago Downtown skyline.
