A beautiful day to cross The Big Blue – Lake Michigan….and arrive in Chicago.

    

    

Hammond Marina and The Horseshoe Casino awaited us just as before when bringing Kara Mia home the first time.

    

    

    

Hammond is a large marina with acres of boats…..

    

….a beach and ship store, deli and restaurant…..

        

Traditionally, grills or any fire hazards are not allowed on docks, however, on land private grills are a popular item at Hammond – as evidenced by the numerous grills of every kinds that lined the boardwalk.

    

    

RANDOM:  Santa collected some friends along the way……
