True Tourists

We headed to Navy Pier early.  Not far from our hotel we stopped at Stans Donuts and splurged for breakfast.  I got an apple fritter and an old fashion donut. Darrin treated himself to a Boston cream, a chocolate long John and an old fashion donut. 
We got our 3 day bus pass at Walgreens and climbed on the public transportation bus. It took about 30 minutes to get to Navy Pier. 
We bought our Go Chicago Passes.  We went on the first Architectural Boat Tour.  The tour started at 10 am. The tour took us up the Chicago River and to both the West a South forks.  We learned a lot about the buildings, designers and history of Chicago.
After the boat ride we went back to the hotel to see what our new room looks like.  Wow.
Around 1:30 we headed to Wriggly Field for the Cubs game. When you choose to go to a game and they win you win.  It was a great game but it was very cold.  Cubs vs Angels, two teams that I like.
After the game we went by a bar to enjoy some local flavor.  We stayed for one drink and headed out. 
After returning to the hotel we headed to Steak Knife for a steak. The steak was flavorful but the baked potato was out of this world!
