Tour De Chicago Museums

One of the best parts of having Em and James in Chicago was the motivation to go try all the awesome things that this city had to offer.  I mean don't get me wrong we made our fair share of trip to Starbucks, Jewel, Potbelly's and Mia Francesca but we hit up two fun museums and on the discount days for Chicago residents.

First up was the Aquarium and by far my favorite site in Chicago thus far.  These pictures say it all.  The boys were in awe and Em and I were in awe and we sure stumbled upon a great spot for lunch!

Taking in the view

Neatest thing to watch - and I am not talking about the dolphins.  Nothing like experiencing this amazement through the eyes of our boys

Em pulling double duty - Jamesy splashing in the starfish area.  We were shocked he remembered touching them in the area behind us here.  Smart little guy

Lunch with a view - BIG FISHES!

Best buds enjoying their mac and cheese with hidden veggies

Next up was the Planetarium.  It was a fun outing but kinda a tired looking museum.  The highs of the trip was my amazing parking spot, lunch with the best view in the city and the random mini fridge with all kinds of play food to go through.

Random fridge - not sure the lesson here 

Pulled the whole tray out just like in our fridge

Again not sure what we were teaching here

Awesome city view on a beautiful warm day

Great lunch with a view - of course we packed our own lunch!!
