Like everyone else, we need more beans in our life. This morning we walked into Millennium Park for the bean experience. A beautiful, peaceful place in the city.

We found our dock for the architectural boat tour at the foot of Trump Tower. Lots of shiny surface, very little substance (Trump-wise).

The boat tour was wonderful, the weather was great, and the 1000 students on board had a ball right along with us. Such a beautiful city, a beautiful lake experience.

Our boat tour guide, Mike, advised us to go for the best hot dogs in the city -
Portello's. Great dogs & beers in an experience like we haven't ever had.

| Best Hot Dogs and Polish on the planet |
Mike also told us about the Sky Terrace bar at the top of the John Hancock building. So while we were walking the Magnificent Mile, we stopped in for a drink on the 96th floor.

A terrific day. We put about 7 miles on our sneakers, but well worth it. On to Indiana tomorrow.
