Kason and Sara's walking and floating Chicago tour

It ends up that Sara's parents and brother are big time Chicago fans. We made the trek down south two times while they were out here. Trips to Chicago are tons of fun, its a ginormous city full of famous stuff, and close enough to not have to pay for a hotel. We've been down that way enough times now to finally have our tour figured out. Please see the map above, which we will eventually put in the "Kason and Sara's walking and floating Chicago tour" brochure. The next many blogs will be a more picturesque and detailed rendition of this, our tour's summary from the brochure:

Welcome to Chicago, the Windy City! We look forward to discovering the sights, sounds and smells of America's third largest city with you. We will begin at the Sears Tower, where you will have a breathtaking view of the city from 108 stories up. Get out your credit cards ladies, because next we will walk along Jackson Drive to the world famous Michigan Avenue! As we walk North we will pass the lions that stand guard at the Chicago Art Institute. We will now pause for a very long time and visit the art museum. For you uncultured swines that don't enjoy world famous art, you can go hang out at Grant Park, site of Barack Obama's 2008 presidential acceptance party. We hope you're hungry because we are now going to stuff ourselves to the gills with Giordano's Chicago stuffed crust pizza. After eating we will waddle over the river, heading east on Grand avenue, and clear down to the end of Navy Pier. After spending a few minutes staring out over Lake Michigan we will walk back to the west end of Navy Pier and ride on the ferris wheel. To finish our tour we will take a relaxing boat ride on the Chicago river, enjoying the many skyscrapers along the way, back to the Sears Tower. We hope you enjoy our beautiful city!
