re: Making a quick Chicago trip starting today till Saturday

I had a great time, the one we booked took us out on a 20 min ride around the lake before going down the river so I got some good photos like the one above around dusk. Only problem is you really couldn't start to see the actual architecture of the buildings once it got dark near the end of the tour. Granted all i was doing was looking up at how tall the buildings were . Also the fireworks barge took one of the turns for the harbor lock so we waited about 30-45 minutes to get back out to navy pier from the river...
