Our final day in Chicago started - surprise, surprise - with a run! It was just about a perfect 4-mile loop along the Riverwalk, so I did it again.
Sunrise over Lake Michigan:
And since our previous morning worked so well, we stuck with the plan. I went back to the hotel and showered, then slept another hour or so until Eryn was ready to meet for more exploring.
Eryn wanted to check out the Riverwalk, so I went back again 😁
Then we went to Navy Pier, which was actually just a mall on a pier. Not as exciting as we hoped. But we did find some snacks in the food court.
Then we started walking north with the eventual destination of Lincoln Park. Crossing the Chicago River:
I left Trump Tower out of the pictures. 😬
Eryn had read about after-words bookstore, so we definitely had to find that!
It was a very, very hot day, so instead of walking all the way, we hopped a bus to the park.
We were checking out the walking paths when we realized we'd entered the zoo!
Because the next day was a travel day, we called it an early night so I could get good sleep before driving to Cincinnati.
The zoo is free and open to the public! It was so great to see families enjoying this park!
