Chicago, New Jersey, Florida and Time with Family

In this weeks episode, Chazzy and I continue out Grandpa, Granddaughter tour of Chicago. We continue down the Chicago River checking out the cool buildings and bustling city from the peace and serenity of a boat. It is amazing how things look so different from the water than the street. From the river architecture tour, we ride bicycles over to the Navy Pier and enjoy a slow twirl around on the Ferris Wheel there. When the original one was constructed here, it was built just a few feet higher than the Eifel tower in France. After riding on this, Chazzy wanted to go on the twirl swings, and she did. I opted out of that one and chose the bench for observing. :) My business trip in Chicago continued, and I was able to spend time with my coworkers and friends, which is always a great time. We took in a Cubs game from an exciting rooftop vantage point. The next night we went to a neat little gastro pub for drinks and dinner and a bit of trivia. If you are ever in the Chicago area, I would highly recommend the Wild Goose Bar and Grill. It is the kind of place that looks like it would be great to be a regular and can almost hear the chants of "Norm!" like in the show cheers if you were to be a regular there. Lastly, I had a wonderful dinner and conversation with one of my co-workers who has become a friend over the last few years. Then it was back to Florida. We landed at 9:30 AM and went straight to the first property showing and met the realtor there. We looked at a few more homes while I was in town and found a couple we liked. Deb and I learned a bit more about each other's tastes and refined our search just a little bit based on what we are finding in our price range with the features we want. We relax under a stormy sky and the RV awning and enjoy a short time together as a family. Then it is back to New Jersey to be there as my Dad continues his recovery. He continues to progress and improves!!! Don't forget to like and share this video Please check out our other videos as well and click on the playlist below for a couple we think you may enjoy.
