Happy Father’s Day! Kip and Dana started their day with a pancake breakfast. We then hailed a van cab and went to the Sears Tower. The Sears Tower is 110 floors, and the observation deck is on floor 103. Suzy and Shelly decided not to walk the 2,232 steps to the top, which Dana and Kip estimated would take approximately 1-2 hours at 1 step per second. The elevator does shake going up and down because it is moving so fast. The girls didn’t believe us when we told them that.
We had Chicago style pizza again for lunch (a request made by Mykenzie). We hailed another van cab, stopped and got groceries, and got dropped off at the marina. It is almost 90 degrees today, and a swim was in order. Kip was the first brave soul to jump in, followed by Mary, and the rest jumped in from there. It was so nice and refreshing (and you can actually see your feet when you are in the water).
We went past Navy Pier into the river that goes through the city and toured where we could. The boat is very high, so we could not make it under a few bridges and had to turn around. We were out until dark so we can see the lights. Suzy and Shelly made dinner while rocking back and forth on Lake Michigan. They got a bit silly and started singing their conversations entirely in opera. It did rain a few times today, but most of the day was very nice. There are quite a few Roamers here, and Kip took pictures of every one of them for the Roamer Club website.
Dana and family, along with Mary, fly home tomorrow morning. We had a great crew and will miss them. Later in the day, the new crew arrives. We are a little less than half way home and are looking forward to the new adventures ahead on the river.
