Sunday Air & Water Show 2008

We left the car at the "L" station on Cumberland, took the bus the rest of the way to Navy Pier. We went on a cruise sailboat, that was rented for this occasion from Diane's work place ALP. The tall ship was called WINDY. It was 2 1/2 hour cruise, towards the Water Show. Great skyline view of Chicago. We did not get to close to the lakeshore, but we did have a nice view of the Air show. It also included a box lunch and drinks. The weather was just perfect for this show.
After the cruise docked, we went towards Oak Street Beach to view the rest of the Air show from the beach. Then we walked towards where we would meet up with Suzia and her kids. She went to the Chicago Cultural Center. (This used to be the Old Chicago Public Library downtown, for us old folks). They were doing a re-dedication of the Tiffany Glass dome inside. It took over 6 months to clean and repair it. It is the largest Tiffany dome in the world. It looked beautiful, pictures to follow soon will provide proof.

After this event finished, we walked around the displays that were there, like the Marilyn Monroe pictures.

We got home just in time to have a BBQ for Ted & Nancy and boys from Madison, Wisc.
Diane and Bruno, as well as all my kids and grandkids came over to visit with them. Ted had picked up Babcia Hela and then Bo joined us in the evening.
Bo has been joining some race boats the last few weeks. So he has been keeping busy with sailing.
P.S. Koy did not come as he was up north working on their house, putting up siding. The house is coming along just fine.
