This past Thursday\u00a0Julie<\/a> and I went on\u00a0Time Out Chicago’s Summer on the Lake<\/a>\u00a0boat cruise of Lake Michigan.\u00a0 We boarded the Shoreline Charters Evening Star<\/a> at Navy Pier. The boat had an upper and lower deck and since there was a DJ upstairs and it looked like a storm was eminent we headed downstairs. Thankfully the food, drink and facilities were all downstairs (and it was Dance Party USA upstairs). The trip consisted of going down the entrance of the Chicago River and then back out onto\u00a0Lake Michigan<\/a> south towards Solider Field<\/a> before turning north and going nearly up to North Avenue Beach. As you can see by the photographs above it looked like the sky would explode at any minute.<\/p>\n

\nWe had a great view of some of the building that you don’t usually associate with the lake such as the Field Museum<\/a>\u00a0and The Adler Planetarium<\/a>.<\/p>\n
