Thursday - September 16th,  Chicago Tour & Navy Pier
  Thursday morning we boarded buses for a short trip to downtown Chicago.  The group visited Soldier's Field and the Memorial Waterfall.  Other sites included Magnificent Mile, Millennium Park and the landmark water tower that survived the Great Chicago Fire.  We then headed for Navy Pier for some lunch and time for some shopping.  After lunch we boarded a tour boat for a tour of downtown from the Chicago River.   After returning to the hotel, the group enjoyed a BBQ dinner.
