The trip started at 7 am at the farm....
and ended at 2 pm in the city. What a contrast.
We spent a day at the Shedd Aquarium where we saw 6000 fish and watched a movie about the Planet Earth. The highlight were the special effects like having your legs tickled by fake rats and snakes and being spit on by various animals.
The next day we went to the Field Museum. The highlight was, of course, Sue. We arrived at 9 am (3rd people in line) and left as they closed up shop. We went through every exhibit though some we just breifly skimmed. We learned more in one day then our brains could absorb. Hunter's favorite fact was that a storm becomes a Hurricane at 74 mph. Blake learned that T Rexes really aren't that big. He kinda of thought he may have been able to take Sue.
Finally, we did a little tour of the city cruising by the Wrigley Field where we learned, Blake's favorite Major League baseball team was the White Sox! He should have said something about 71 blocks sooner. We ate Giordanos pizza and swam in the pool twice to round out the trip.
Some day we will go back and watch the White Sox play.
