Chicago

We needed a vacation, Michael decided he wanted to go to Chicago (go figure). Edd had some work to do up there and we tagged along. We tried to see the major sights:

Navy Pier


Field Museum


Shedd Aquarium


Museum of Science and Technology...


we missed the Adler Planetarium and never made it up either of the towers. We did take an excellent city tour that was an open double decker bus which was fun.


We also took in a White Sox game.


We drove out to the Illinois Railway Museum


One big shout out against the Lego Discovery Center.... don't waste your money. Michael had a good time but the adults still had to pay $20 each to get in and couldn't do anything but watch. There are two "rides" akin to those you find in the supermarket roaming fairs. The one cool thing was the miniature Chicago but not worth the admission fee. So a big waste of money, save it, buy some lego sets at Toys-R-Us.

Overall we had a good time and it was a nice break.
