A day at the Pier...

Nature blessed Chicago with some amazing weather this Memorial Day weekend! So we set out to enjoy it to the fullest, and spent all day Sunday at Navy Pier doing as much as we could: boatrides, the giant ferris wheel, carrousel, pirate shows with live actors, and finally Shrek 3 in IMAX 3D. I have added some vintage-inspired images from our day below, enjoy!

Nothing beats a carrousel ride with Chicago's skyline and Lake Michigan as your backdrop!

Something about this image captured me...


Hauntingly beautiful lighthouse in Lake Michigan
