We celebrated by having a day that was out of the ordinary. We missed the PACE bus by 30 seconds, so drove to the new downtown parking garage and walked to the train. By the time we got downtown it was pouring rain, but we proceeded to North Pier and bought tickets for the 10:00 architectural cruise. The rain tapered off to a drizzle, so it wasn't too bad sitting on the upper deck. It was fun and interesting. Then we walked to the Water Tower visitor center, where I found out that the film I had gone to see, all about Chicago, hadn't been there for about 20 years (oops)! After we had some lunch we took a bus to Lincoln Park Zoo and the Conservatory. We were very worn out by then, so took a bus back to the train station, walked to where we parked the car, and went home. It's fun being a senior citizen in Illinois and riding all these buses and trains for free, even though I think our governor is a @#$%^& most of the time.
Thanks for the good wishes, and for all the lovely gifts you gave me on Friday!
