New year's Eve at Navy pier Chicago
Happy new year everyone !!!!
Hope you had enjoyed New year's Eve. In Midwest December is freezing month every year. But still people are excited to say bye to old year and welcoming new year with fun and celebration.
Last year I was traveling to India so I missed the opportunity to experience how Chicago welcomes new year. So this time we decided to go to the Chicago. I heard lot about Navy Pier fireworks. So I wanted to see it. We went to Devon Ave directly and had yummy South Indian dinner in the Udupi Cafe.
After dinner we head to the Navy Pier. There was plenty of traffic in downtown. Navy Pier parking was already full so we parked four blocks away and walk to the Navy Pier. You will see excitement in the crowd. There are bars, restaurants and pubs if you want to go. We preferred to take walk along the side of lake and enjoyed cold breeze.
Fireworks started exactly at midnight. Fireworks with the background of high rise buildings was looking so beautiful. Simply amazing.
We were in bed by 10. We don't celebrate NY Eve anymore :)
ReplyDeleteGlad that you had a wonderful NYE I went out clubbing and for food with friends :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a fab NYE and fireworks are just brilliant arn't they! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI was at home doing nothing...LOL
ReplyDeleteI stayed home with movies. I hate parties as people get drunk.
ReplyDeleteI was in bed by 10:30pm on New Year's Eve. Don't regret it at all.
ReplyDeleteFireworks should be like this, so that everyone is safe from harm. It's definitely better to stay at home with family during the New Year, celebrating, eating and sharing stories from the previous year!

ReplyDeleteWe are my family celebrated New Years Eve together in my home, it was really fun and we were enjoyed fun games at my house.

ReplyDeleteMy husband works shifts and his work pattern had him working the whole of New Year so I was planning a quiet night. The phone rang to say he had managed to persuade his boss to let him finish early so we celebrated together which was an unexpected pleasure and a nice way to start the New Year.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular photos! We spent our night at home watching a movie. We have two young boys and my husband was working the next morning.
