Navy Pier

Friday July 18th Kelsey and I walked down to Grand, caught bus 65 and rode it all the way to Navy Pier. Kelsey is really good on the bus now. I think she's getting used to public transportation making it easier and easier to ride it. She even thinks the bus is fun. Every time a bus passes she goes "Bus. Fun!"  But back to Navy Pier. We got there and honestly, it kind of was a waste of time. I'm glad we went to check it off our list, but its just Chicago's biggest tourist trap. Basically its a giant mall built on a pier. That's it. The view was very pretty, but unless you pay to do everything there, its really not that cool. 

While we were there we went to the stained glass museum. It was really cool and just short enough for a two year old. It was also inside so it was a whole lot of winning for our team.

Navy Pier did have music playing the whole time and Kelsey loved it!

On top of the mall is a mini carnival with some small carni rides. They were all crazy expensive so we decided to call it a day and head to the park next door.

This was the ceiling from the inside of the actual mall.

After Navy Pier we went to the Milton Olive Park. I thought it was going to be awesome, but it was more just a patch of grass in the city. We had fun though. There was a really pretty view and beach from the park so it was a nice break from Navy Pier. 

Kelsey loved all the flowers in the grass. I sat on a bench for like 20 minutes eating while she picked flowers and brought them to me. I'm just so glad it was a nice day.
