More fun in Chicago!
We decided it be a good idea to visit my dear friend the Hancock Building once again to see Chicago during the day light hours. It did not disappoint! The city looks great from up there.
However, we spent the bulk of our day at the Filed Museum looking at its billion and one specimens and collections. Of course, the huge T-Rex in the Grand Hall dominated my visit. Dinosaur Sue is HUGE and we read about her in my 4th grade class. I took a bunch of pictures so that my students can see her from every angle possible. Plus so they can know that yes I did see Sue as well 😊
The boring peanut worm was my second favorite thing too!
Afterwards, we headed over to the very free Art Institute of Chicago by the elevated lines. I LOVE their collection of art! Some of my favorite paintings were on display and seeing Seurat's La Grande Jatte was an excellent experience!
By my feet were KILLING me once again! I reached a point where I could just not walk anymore so we sat at the steps of the museum
and just watched the people pass by for a good hour.
Afterwards we rode the EL Train in circles just for the fun of it.
Poor feet! I need some new ones!
