Reminds me of the song from
"Calamity Jane" with Doris Day and Howard Keel {swoon}... "Just flew in from the windy city, the windy city is mighty purdy..." and mighty purdy she is, folks. My friend Shari and I purchased a Groupon for a trip on the Tall Ship Windy at the beginning of the summer and we finally got around to using the darn thing, eight days before it expired! It was the first, official day of fall, mind you, but here in Chicago, fall could easily be confused for a So. Cal. winter. Layers, my friends, always layers!! It was a great day spent at Navy Pier (a must for any tourist) and a lovely view of the skyline from Lake Michigan!
So, I wanted to do a quick post and share some of our photos for the day. I am also writing to let you know that "My Illinoisy Life" is now officially under construction!! Big changes are coming and I think you're gonna love it. I'm hoping the "renovations" will be done sooner than later, so keep checking back!! :) :)
