This year’s work party was held at a private yacht from Elite at Navy Pier. People were hesitant if it was going to happen at all due to the weather. Thunderstorms were predicted but luckily it cleared up before the end of the work day. As usual, we had a trolley service pick us up from the office and transport us there. I love the trolley rides! That’s an experience itself! The trolley went through traffic pretty quickly considering it was Friday during rush hour. Once we arrived we killed some time by walking over to the Beer Garden to have a cocktail. There was a band that was playing as well.
We finally boarded, and despite the skies looking questionable, we set out to sea! I’m usually nervous on boats in general, but this yacht was pretty big. I never felt a thing. We had dinner at the downstairs lobby, and again, despite being on a lower level, I still never felt a thing. The food was delish! I was very surprised at the quality! They even had a cutting station for meat.
We went back up to the upper level to enjoy some music from the dj. Our work parties have been a little wild out on the dance floor over the years, but I think this time it wasn’t so. I have a feeling if they had dimmed down the lights a bit it would have made people less shy. Oh well. Regardless we had a blast!
