[Barlibash] Possible 'attractions' for the Saturday sightseeing bloc

[daisy]

While I believe I do belong in the shy category ; ) this is what I 
think, and Charlie agrees with me cause he has to :D

- The food lineup looks good - I'd love to try Chicago style pizza at 
some point, if possible. Is there room for Bob Chins amazing seafood?

- Navy Pier with fireworks on Saturday would be great. We missed out on 
both Canada Day and Independence Day fireworks, go figure!

- Balin kindly showed me around Wheaton College last year, so I'm 
thinking of The Museum of Technology and Industry (Bill, is that what 
it's called?)
