Ferris Wheel

Nicole and I rode the ferris wheel at Navy Pier. It was a first for both of us. It was always something I wanted to do but seemed too touristy for an actual Chicago resident.

(in line)
Nicole: I'm nervous.
Me: What? Why?
Nicole: I'm afraid of heights.
Me: (laughs) Well why are we going on this? We could go wander around the build-a-bear...
Nicole: No! (smiles) I'm over coming something!

You only get one spin around the thing but it goes incredibly slow so you can savour it. It was a warm, bright, sunny afternoon. No complaints in the world.
