39th anniversary

Our 39th anniversary was July 25th.  For my birthday Jill had given me two tickets for a dinner cruise on the Tall Ship Windy for that night.  The kids gave me a gift certificate for a room at the Hyatt for that night. We headed downtown and checked into the Hyatt; they upgraded us to a suite facing the river.

 

We headed down Michigan Avenue hoping to have lunch at the Oak Street Beachstro but the wait was too long.  Tried the Cheesecake Factory in the John Hancock but same story so we ended up at the Mighty Nice Grill in Water Tower Place

We walked around, went over to Rush Street then headed back towards the river.

Went back to our hotel and got ready for dinner

Took the water taxi over to Navy Pier

and headed down to the dock for the Tall Ship Windy.

The cruise was very nice, the food was not so great. We thoroughly enjoyed being out on the lake for the fireworks

Next morning we walked along the river walk but found that none of those restaurants were open for breakfast so we had a nice breakfast at the Great Room in the Renaissance Hotel
