Day Three Chicago-Navy Pier


After the River Cruise we decided to go back to the Science Museum but that was kind of a bust since it was super crowded.

Following this we attempted to go to Lou Malnati's for pizza but at 2:00 it was packed and we decided it was best to just walk back to the hotel and grab something along the way. We stumbled by Al's Beef which was actually on my Chicago food list as an -if we have time- so we decided to eat there. The Italian beef is a Chicago specialty and Al's Italian Beef has been voted the Number 1 sandwich in America-I promise you, it wasn't that good. It was a decent sandwich but I didn't think it lived up to all the awards it has received (Food Network, Esquire Magazine, Travel and Leisure and Zagat's). 

After lunch we went back to the hotel for awhile and then went on to Navy Pier. Navy Pier was fine but we didn't find it super special. The girls rode the Carousel and a little train and that was about it. I suppose it would have been pretty fun if we didn't live at Disneyland or have an ocean near us. We decided to pass on Harey's Carey's dinner (even though David and I would have preferred this) for the Rainforest Cafe. We had great seating (right next to the Gorilla's) and the girls had an awesome time. Overall, another great Chicago day!
