Tuesday was a lovely day. After a slowish start that included wendy sorting out parking and me trying to sort out transport tickets on a machine that needed a US zip code to use a credit card and would not give change of notes, we set off for a place to eat at called Little Goat. This involved lots of walking. For quite a while I was walking with the older 3 playing a game called 'opposites'. Everything you did and said had to be opposite to the truth. I discovered it is very difficult to march along the street saying ' left, left, left , right, left' using the opposite foot. They seemed amused. Later in the day we pretended to ride out trusty steeds as we galloped along the pathway.
Little Goat was like a modern diner in style with modern diner food. Very interesting, very crowded with all sorts of people, very noisy. I had a modern version of a reuben sandwich with a huge amount of corned beef and lots of fermented veg on gluten free bread. The kids all got crayons and an activity sheet. Twice now I have seen the younger 3 get brought a plastic kids cup of water and Isla, who is almost as tall as me, gets the same as me and wendy.
Next we went on a 90 minute boat trip of the Chicago river. The commentary was excellent. All about the different architectural styles, history and assorted titbits.
Navy pier was next. A sort of amusement park. We wandered around, had a ride on a huge ferris wheel, then sat down for an early dinner of frozen margaritas for me and wendy, and nachos and salad for everyone.
