This
photo was taken on our boat tour of the Chicago
River. It was an architecture cruise and there
were plenty of interesting buildings to view,
both old and new. |
 |
|
The
tall building shown here next to the clouds is
the Sears Tower. It is the tallest building in
the country. Dogs are not allowed in the
building, so my daughter and I took the tour and
the elevator to the 103rd floor. I don't think
too many dogs would be keen on the fast elevator
ride anyway. My husband took Toby for a walk
while he was waiting for us. He passed by a
train station where a man waiting for a train
asked to pet Toby. Turns out that this man was
visiting Chicago and lived in New York City. He
explained that he had been close enough to see
the World Trade Center buildings fall down on
September 11. And he finished by saying that he
was nervous just being close to the Sears Tower
at about a few blocks away. I'm just glad that I
didn't hear his story before I went on the Sears
Tower tour! |

Later
that day, we all visited Navy Pier. While dogs are
not allowed inside the buildings on the pier,
they are welcome to walk outside with
you. Navy Pier is a Chicago landmark that offers
over 50 acres of parks, shops, attractions and a
small amusement area. My daughter enjoyed the
miniature train ride and the carousel ride. |

This
is a photo of the outdoor seats at the Food
Court at Navy Pier. The fast food restaurants
offered a pretty good selection of food including
a deli with sandwiches and salads. Dogs are
allowed at the outdoor tables. |
 |
|
At
the pier, there was another sightseeing boat
tour by the same company that allowed dogs on
their Chicago River boat tour. Dogs were also
allowed on the Lake Michigan tour, so we
hopped aboard. On this boat ride we took the
photo shown here of Navy Pier and downtown
Chicago. |
 |
|
On
the same boat tour, I took this photo of a
lighthouse on Lake Michigan. |

|
If
you have ever watched the old television show
"Married With Children" this fountain
will look familiar. It was shown in the opening
credits of the show. It is also of course in its
own right a popular Chicago landmark. The
fountain was built in 1927 and is noted for its
artistic bronze sculpture, and especially for
the creative use of technology that is used to
present a brilliant music, light and water show
about once every hour. The show usually lasts
for 20 minutes. The fountain is located in Grant
Park in downtown Chicago and leashed dogs are
welcome. |

|
Touring
Chicago with a dog was an enjoyable experience.
Toby was able to accompany us to many of the
city's popular landmarks and attractions. The
photo shown here is the road heading east out of
Chicago. From here we would head to Michigan to
visit and stay with family. |

This
photogenic frog was found on our relative's
farm.
