It may surprise you to know that I don't have a lot of worldly experience. That is why when I recently got the opportunity to take a Sea Dog Cruise, I was all over it. Best of all, I got to take it with some of my best blogger friends (which also made it extra fun due to all the laughing we did).
That is what our boat looked like. This is our tour guide:
His name was Jake. Like Jake from State Farm. (One of us may have asked him what he was wearing and he may have responded Khakis and they're hideous. I won't admit if that really happened.) He was really nice (and nice looking too!). He was very knowledgeable about Chicago, and he totally engaged the entire boat with his banter.
The first 30 minutes of the cruise (aff) we went slowly along the lake so that we could mingle and catch up with friends and take pictures. I was able to catch this picture then:
We then got a short sped boat demonstration. After that, we parked on the lake and enjoyed the spectacular fireworks display:
I would definitely do a Sea Dog Cruise again. It was awesome!
It sounds like you had alot of fun!
Looks like fun! I remember taking a field trip to Chicago when I was in 8th grade and taking a boat tour and how cool it was! I’d love to try it again with my kids!
I’m scared of the idea of being on the water (and used to love go boating as a kid), I’d love to go on a cruise someday. However, my husband refuses to take a cruise with me (he hates the idea of being on water, too) – le sigh. ~lol~
That looks like so much fun!
How neat. If I ever get to Chicago I will be sure to check it out.
I’ve always wanted to go on one of the boat tours while in Chicago.
That looks like so much fun!
I took a sunset cruise when we went to St. Johns, USVI, and it was nice! It looks like you had a lot of fun!
This looks like a relaxing yet fun thing to do.
I looks like fun. We’re the fireworks a part of the ride?
The open layout is perfect for siteseeing.
What an amazing way to view the city and fireworks!
What a fun time! I’d love to see fireworks on the water.
Looks like a fun cruise!
How fun! I have only been to Chicago once but would have LOVED to float around like that! You got some great pics. 🙂
Gosh! I miss Chicago! Jake (from State Farm) sounds hideous! <3
Oh wow, that looks like a lot of fun!
I would love to watch a fireworks show from a boat.
Looks like a beautiful cruise! Love the fireworks from the boat!
It looks like this was a lot of fun! Thank you so much for sharing all the fun pictures, and I am glad you had a good time!
Looks like it was a fun adventure! Those firework shots are gorgeous!
I am in Chicago and have always wanted to go on this. Reading about it I many have to pick a day and go now.
Wow! That looks like a lot of fun! Love the fireworks show!
