Chicago 2013: Day 3 - Bridgehouse 1

The McCormick Bridgehouse and Chicago River Museum is located inside the five-story southwest tower of the Michigan Avenue Bridge.  The museum tells not only the story of Chicago's bridges but also the ecology of the Chicago River and how it changed with the growth of the city.

Chicago 2013: Day 3 - Boat Tour

Breakfast again at Ann Sather's. I just can't get enough of those Swedish pancakes with lingonberry syrup! After eating, Mom mentioned that she was really interested in going on one of the boat tours on the Chicago river. We ended up going for one that featured architectural highlights of notable Chicago buildings. We had quite a bit of time to kill before our boat was to leave so we took a self tour of one of the bridge houses. The above photo was taken from inside the southwest bridgehouse tower on the Michigan Avenue bridge.
