Sea Dog Cruises in Chicago Here I Come!

in Family and Home, Travel on 07/05/13

Disclaimer: Powered by Mom is attending this cruise in exchange for writing this post which is 100% my own thoughts and opinions. I really can’t wait to go!

Powered by Mom is going to Chicago!

I can’t wait I’m going to Chicago for the second time in 3 years at almost exactly the same time of year that I went in 2010. However this time I’m going for something far more fun and valuable to me as a blogger. I’m going to BlogHer 13 and I am beyond excited! I finally get to go to a conference that is about my business and helping me grow and I get to meet a ton of lovely ladies that I’ve been working with the last few months, some I’ve been working with for a year and will get to meet them in real life for the first time! I will of course also get to meet a ton of other bloggers I don’t know from across the US, Canada, and the globe oh yes indeed!

sea dog cruise

One of the fun things I get to do on this trip to is to go on a fireworks cruise with Sea Dog Cruises! It’s a lakefront cruise where we get the best seats to watch spectacular fireworks as we drift along the water, what more could I ask for? Well good company too which I will be getting with about 75 other bloggers as it’s hosted by the lovely people behind Madam Deals. I’m very excited about this evening cruise as I didn’t get to do anything near as fun as that when I was last in Chicago which was for a very dry university conference.

Sea Dog Cruises also offers the following:

Lakefront Speedboat Tour 
This 30-minute cruise along the shoreline offers a descriptive tour of Chicago’s famous skyline, while playing your favorite music. 

Extreme Thrill Ride 
This cruise is perfect for the dare-devil in you! This 30-minute ride features splash down stops, 180-degree turns, slalom runs and more. 

River and Lake Architectural Tour 
Enjoy historic views of Chicago’s famous landmarks and neighborhoods during this 75-minute cruise on both Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. 

Wonder why it’s called Sea Dog Cruises? Well as space permits your favorite pooch can ride on the cruise for free too, aren’t they lucky. If I had my two favorite canines with me I would take them. If you’re in the Chicago any time soon or live there and are having friends or family visit check out Sea Dog Cruises! I can’t wait for my cruise!

I’m Michelle aka Powered by Mom. I’m married with one daughter, my hubby was my high school sweetheart, our two dogs Nyx and Cleo and our cat Oliver. As you can see we’re a family of animal lovers. We love to travel when we can, try different food and activities all over the world and enjoy being together. My passions are writing, travelling, creating new recipes, encouraging people to adopt not shop and just to enjoy life while we can.

As an animal lover I also volunteer with a rescue organization called Three Little Pitties All Breed Rescue. I'm part of the cat program Three Little Kitties Saving Kitties which tries to save as many cats as possible in Houston, Texas which has a huge overpopulation fo cats and they euthanize far too many cats (and dogs) we want to change that.

    I was trying to recall the Sea Dog Cruises. The only ones I know are The Spirit of Chicago and Chicago Odyssey. I did a search and this cruise is still running, but on a “COVID-19” schedule. This is great to know since I live outside of Chicago. Chicago used to be the vacation spot of fun! There’s a lot to do and see! Now I would be careful ???? This world is really scary and I don’t see it getting any better! Pin worthy! Thank you for sharing!

    I am originally from Canada, but I live in Chicago! I LOVE THIS CITY! This is the most amazing city I’ve ever been to. We live right across the street from Lake Michigan! I’m glad you get to come back and visit!

    Looks like fun! They have fireworks cruises in Tampa too that I want to take one year. They are a bit pricey and sell out fast but I think it would be so much fun.

    I love visiting my brother-in-law who lives in Chicago. I’ll have to look into that Sea Dog cruise you took. More importantly, I wish I was a blogger. I know I would learn so much more from other bloggers than by the trial and error method. I follow both Powered by Mom and Madam Deals everyday. They are super blogs in my book!

Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year wh Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year where we'll start spending more time outside enjoying the weather, grilling and the longer days of light and so much more. ☀️⛱ SponsoredI may have gotten a head start as we went camping for the first time this year and this really reminded me of how I love to sit outside and enjoy a good campfire or one in our firepit in our backyard and enjoying the quiet of the evening and stars twinkling in the night sky. 🌠⭐It also brings up memories of good food, grilled food my favourite kind with all those fun and delicious marinades, rubs and sauces to dress up and enhance the flavour of your food. Stay tuned for my upcoming recipe that has a delicious and creamy lemon sauce with chicken cooked in a #castiron pan. 🍋🍳I've teamed up with @ChickenDotCA to give one lucky winner an Outdoor Wood Burning Round Cooking Pit for the month of April.

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC. Swipe to see our 📷  more beautiful nature photos to come soon. 🌿🌼#camping #PNW #nature #naturephotography #pnwwonderland #pnwlife #forest #greatoutdoors #campfire #Chilliwack  #chilliwackbc  #FraserValley
