Today we visited Shedd's Aquarium. Nothing we haven't seen before but always entertaining. Highlights: the penguins (HAPPY FEET!), sea otters (they were playing together and making everyone go ohh and ahhh), beluga whales (there was one who was such a camera ham. He would go up to the people, stick his head out of the water and start making sounds), the seadragons (they look so cool-google them if you've never seen them before), and of course the dolphins (Sea World is better of course but Shedd definitely put on a good show.) We had lunch by the lake. You wouldn't believe how windy it got. I was so cold I got goosebumps (then again, I'm cold a lot of the time.) It was peaceful and serene and the perfect place for a picnic. We took a bunch of pictures. We saw a group of people who had the same idea. They were all dressed up to take wedding pictures. Later we had dinner at a place called Giordano's, a pizza place. We ordered a stuffed pizza filled with shrimp and chesse. Oh my gosh, it puts Cici's and Domino's to SHAME! I have never had pizza like that before. Later, right before bed, we went out to take a walk down by the lake. It was kinda sad-my sister Hana and I kept exclaiming every time we saw a firefly, I guess since we never see them at home. But it was kinda sad.
