Navy Pier on New Years


Every year for New Years my family always plans something fun to do. Sometimes it's just during the day on January 1 and other times we spend the night places. Two years ago my family and I went to Chicago. We had a great time; we arrived on the 31st at the W hotel. I've talked about the W in New York previously, but had never stayed at a W hotel until Chicago The W, like the one in New York, has a very modern feel. I recommend staying at a W if you ever get the chance. My favorite part was the pool. It's heated indoor and has views overlooking Lake Michigan and Navy Pier. We didn't spend much time at the hotel because it was New Years and we were spending time around the city. 

For New Years Eve we went to Navy Pier. We walked around during the day and did a little shopping. At night there was a firework show. It was really neat the fireworks were set up in the sky over Lake Michigan and they even had music playing. It was just a fun night. It was nice because the W hotel is really close to Navy Pier so it was a quick walk home. The next day we did a little shopping around the Water Tower Mall, but mostly sight seeing around the town. It was a short trip to Chicago but very fun.

that sounds like fun! I love watching fireworks over a body of water because it looks so cool! It's like you see them in the air and also on the reflection of the water. I usually just stay at home and we have a party with our friends, but last year I was in London for cheerleading for the New Year's Day parade. Which I really wish I could go back there again! I loved it!
