Next week I am headed to Chicago and I will be attending Blogher 2013. This is my third conference and I just loved attending. Last year I was in New York City with my family and we had a blast. There was so much to see and so many things to do. I even had the opportunity to hang out withe the world famous Rockettes.
One of the best things that we did when we were there was to take a boat cruise around Manhattan. It was a great way to see the city from a completely different angle.
You can imagine how excited I was to be offered the chance to tour of Chicago on a boat cruise. I have done this before on my many trips to Chicago but I have never done a boat cruise at night.
Every Wednesday and Saturday evening during the summer, there are fireworks at Navy Pier and I am looking forward to seeing them from the deck of a Sea Dog Cruise.

Lakefront Fireworks Cruise
Enjoy front-row seats to the spectacular fireworks display aboard our Lakefront Fireworks Cruise!
