I have always wanted to take the boat trip, but it has never happened. I am glad that I finally took it, especially since it was so interesting. The weather was awesome as well, so we couldn't get any luckier. I realized there is so many buildings in the neighborhood, those that I pass by every day, and haven't noticed ever! I looked at the buildings in a different way that I was before. They started to have personality, stories, and even name! They are not only a roof on top of people's head anymore! Nowadays I pay more attention to them, and I am fascinated with the details that I am finding even about my own building, where I live!  It's so difficult to pick one building as my favorite out of all of those in the tour, but I am pretty sure that the ‘Lake Point view’ is one of my favorites. 

It’s sitting in the water by itself with a unique shape and that’s what makes it adorable. The great fire in Chicago at 1817 is the main reason that the city took a whole new look and famous architecture such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, Mies van der Rohe, and Holabird & Root helped the process.
