Chicago Bridges. 

Ryan and I did a Bridges Tour to learn about the history, engineering and coolness of the Chicago Bridges. Did you know Chicago has 18 bridges in 2 miles? Crazy, right? What's even crazier is that they ALL open up like a draw bridge. We started our tour on a water taxi over to the meeting site. What a great way to start our day!

Barge on the river.

Sail Boats waiting for the bridges to open -- so they can make their way to Lake Michigan.

We had a great time learning about the Chicago bridges!
