Chicago

Dad, Helena, and Liam went to Chicago over our Spring Break. The weather was great – just a little chilly but sunny.

We left Minneapolis at 4:00 and were in Chicago by 11:00. Our hotel room was ready, so we immediately went across the street to the Field Museum. After that, we had dinner on our walk over to the Sears Tower, then took a cab back to the hotel where Liam immediately fell asleep while Helena and I laughed at Mythbusters on the television.

The next morning we went to breakfast then went to the Shedd Aquarium because Liam wanted to see the dolphin show. In typical fashion, that part of the aquarium was under renovation. But we spent some time there, and afterword in Grant Park, where the kids played with some others, and rolled down the hill over and over. They also found the carcass of a squirrel, which was quite exciting.

Then we went to the hotel for a little nap, then we took the subway into town for dinner (Pizzeria Uno, which we all hated), then we took a cab to the Children’s Museum, where we stayed until they closed. A cab home, sleep, and we were on the road by 6:15 the next morning for the kids to be surprised that their Aunt Libby and Uncle Peter were going to be there that night.
