The difficulty of the trip from North Point Marina to NTC (seas were 5-7' with winds up to 25 knots . . . short, thank goodness, 14 mile day) was eased with a shopping adventure on the "Magnificent Mile".
Flowers along the sidewalk containing entertaining decorations and displays; this one titled "Rhapsody in Blue."
We had street entertainers and . . .
Tall buildings . . . The John Hancock Center.
Shopping was great . . . Charlie made the only purchase. There was no Stein Mart!! Still, lots to look at, a great day!
The week end is topped off with dinner at the Wool Street Sports Bar which is owned and operated by Mindi and Mark Green. A wonderful evening of good food, laughter, and stories. Mindy is the daughter of close friends of Bonnie's, Bill and Susan Russell. Again, it is the people you meet and see along this trip that make it so very terrific.
When Bonnie returns from Virginia Beach on Thursday we will move from NTC to the waterfront in Chicago, just steps away from the Museum of Natural History and all the shopping. Then, on about the 17th, Monday, we will proceed down the Chicago River, the Sanitary Canal, right down the middle of the Magnificant Mile, the business and banking districts. Starting down the Illinois and then the Mississippi.

Hey Bonnie and Charlie,
ReplyDeleteIt has been such a long time since I have written. School has started and I am adjusting to the clock. Summer spoils me so much. I wanted to write today: September 14 since it is your birthday. So, Have a Happy Birthday, Bonnie. I love you and miss you. Billie
