Chicago river trip

We had a great forecast so decided to head into Chicago and do a river tour. It certainly was a good day for it, nice clear skies and pretty warm for Autumn. We had a great day walking around, checking out the city sights and doing a little window shopping.

So it was time for our boat trip, nicely timed for late afternoon light...

Chicago likes going up!

Chicago!

First time back in Chicago in a long time, took the opportunity to go have a look through the city centre and get a few photos - although it was a bit cloudy.
