Chicago by Water

My wife and I grew up in Chicago. It was a great place to be young with all the activities and festivities. Now that we're retired Chicago is way too busy for us, but the waters there still hold fascination. Here are a few pictures of the Chicago Circle Cruise that will always be a favorite.

      Four leggers aren't required to wear life jackets.

      Big Duck has never been north of the Mason Dixon Line except for her trip to 1000 Islands.
