Well, we're home from a fun-filled, if chaotic, adventure in Chicago. Eleven people in all, 6 adults and 5 children! At least we outnumbered the kids. The girls had a fantastic day at American Girl Place, complete with an adorable luncheon in the cafe. The boys had a blast at Legoland. We all went to the Museum of Science and Industry and the Field Museum of Natural History. The most notable thing about the museums was the crowd. It was unbelievably crowded everywhere we went. We had intended to go to the Shedd Aquarium, but the line was more than an hour long, which is how we ended up at the Field Museum. Worked for me because I had a reciprocal membership, so I was able to get into both museums free. I also got all the kids into the Field Museum. On our last night there, we went to Harry Caray's and had adult food, for a change. One thing is for sure--our wallets are a lot lighter!
OOO, that Chicago wind looks frisky! Glad you had fun! Good thing you Buckeyes are used to it! Seems like there was something for everyone, which. of course, would lead to a lighter wallet all around!Tourism up in Chicago? Good sign for the economy, it was here too for spring break, not usually a good time for us. Expensive airfare and scary times abroad mean home travel whiach means this sistah stays employed! :-D
