Spring Break Chicago

 I am now in love with Chicago.  Great family city.  The aquarium was the best I have been to.  All my pictures are not great because you can't use a flash anywhere.  I'm sure a better photographer could have rocked that but oh well. I was too busy enjoying the fish. 
 Waiting for the dolphin and whale show.
 Sam could not wait for the sharks.  Highlight.
 The official Chicago hot dogs.  They had to eat them with all the proper fixins.
 The field museum.  This was Spencer's heaven.  His specialty is prehistoric animals.  I couldn't catch him in a good picture he was moving so fast trying to see everything.  This place is so big it would take many trips to see all the exhibits.  Nathan cried for a stroller for an hour so I finally broke down and rented one, and then he insisted on pushing it around the rest of the time.  At least I could unload the backpack for a bit. 
 The Willis Tower glass ledge. 
 We saw one great 3d movie, and one amazing 4D movie with water splashing us in the face when the sharks jumped at you.  It was a riot!
 Loved watching my boys soak up all the science. 
 Nathan and Chicago. 
 We had to make a stop at the Lego store. 
 The Hershey store was a fun treat after a long day. 
 Chinatown, the boys were skeptics, but they downed every crazy dish we put in front of them.  I would do the drive again to eat at this restaurant.  Yum.
 This is Sue's head.  It was too heavy to put with the rest of her body, over 700 pounds!
 This looks so delicious!
 Of course swimming was a highlight.   The rooftop pool. 
Goodnight Chicago, you will be missed.  Thanks for the best time!

I wouldn't have thought Chicago was such a great family city.

I can't believe how big your boys are getting. If you ever need a princess fix, I would love to do a science day with your boys. We could swap...please. (:
