Okay, I don’t know if this counts as travel, but Erin and I just got back from a kayaking trip on the Chicago river. It was about an hour and a half, and we got to sit and watch the fireworks go off over Navy Pier. It was a great time and you can find more information about kayaking on the Chicago river at Kayak Chicago.
I saw some people kayaking on Sunday. There was a big boat in the river too! You would need to be careful or else glub glub!
