      <image:caption>My wonderful partner purchased GO CITY ACCESS PASSES which gave us the ability to try out different attractions. I picked the Architecture Boat Tour and was not disappointed! Our guide, Darren with Sea Dog Company, was fun, knowledgable and genuinely cared about the city and it's awe inspiring buildings. I definitely learned a lot of cool facts about skyscrapers and structures which I've seen a hundred times but perhaps, taken for granted.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>On the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier, we spotted the James J. Versluis - a tugboat owned and operated by the Chicago Water Department and named after the former director of the department. She's a good, old girl, having been built in 1957 and still hard at work. Some may learn from her work ethic...</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Overall, I had a fantastic time doing all the typical tourist stuff. We even went to see the Bean AKA Cloud Gate (as its maker would rather have it known!) I know some may scoff at such things- it's  not "cool" or "original" and blah blah blah. That's fair. I certainly don't need to see the Bean again anytime soon. But it was a nice change of pace to see the city with fresh eyes. It is a beautiful city with a rich and vibrant history.  I'm not too cool to marvel and be in awe. I had such a lovely birthday in the city of Chicago and guess what, all the non-tourist things I usually do are still right there, waiting for me on the other side of this.</image:caption>
