Life's a Beach

If you only saw the pictures, you would think we just went to Lake Michigan's North Ave. Beach for the Wrestlemania. However, there was a good deal of wading, splashing, and playing with fellow city kids to be had last Sunday. We had a most excellent time. At times, I thought about how we used to be able to park for free to sit on a beautiful beach and watch sailboats and container ships (my personal favorites) gliding beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, but you know what? I didn't really think about it all that long because we had a pretty fantastic view of Chicago's amazing skyscrapers, and that Lake is really huge. Besides, the warm water allows us to actually get wet, and it's so clear and shallow right by the beach. All parties agreed that it was going to be a favorite destination.
