To celebrate, I decided I needed to be up by dawn and awake until after the sun goes down. So I made plans to get up and walk to the lake to see the sunrise. This was an interesting choice because, if you haven't figured it out yet, the longest day of the year also means the earliest sunrise of the year.
My alarm went off at 4:30. I got up. Got dressed. Reassured Kevin he didn't need to come with me (and then kind of wished he had as I walked down dark-ish Belmont with all of its late night/early morning characters). I got a tiny coffee and made it to the harbor with about 15 minutes to spare. It was really, really pretty. I probably sat there half an hour.
I took pictures, but we don't have our camera cord in Chicago these days. So here are some public photos of where I was:

And the view looked something like this:
