Navy Pier was originally designed as a shipping and recreational facility and has evolved into a premiere family entertainment center. It also provides state-of-the-art meeting space perfectly suited for small to medium trade shows. All of these elements combine to make Navy Pier Chicago's number one tourist destination which drew Marston and me to visit a full day. Obviously I was looking forward to the visit as I captured the pier from the 95th floor of the John Hancock Building. We had no idea how much fun we would have, but literally spent all day seeing all that there was to offer.
