New Year's Eve at the Navy Pier!

We braved the snow and the crowds and went back into town for New Year's Eve. The weather and our game times had not cooperated earlier in the week when we were scheduled to go to the Navy Pier but we finally got to experience it tonight. It was awesome! We only wished that more of the stores and attractions had been open. Some of us wanted to go on the ferris wheel, but it was closed because of the wind. We spent an hour waiting in the freezing snow and sleet for the fireworks show off the end of the pier. It was well worth the wait. We made it back to our hotel safely, even though the snow is continuing to fall outside. The trees look awesome with the snow on them; it's just like in photos we've seen.
