Today we hit Borders and spent most of our time and money there. :-)Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-63802460951990870462011-08-11T20:10:17.988-04:002011-08-11T20:10:17.988-04:00Seems like you're having a great vacation.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your time there. :)Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683944973070583799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-47511087434637319632011-08-11T12:58:32.501-04:002011-08-11T12:58:32.501-04:00Wow you've done A LOT of stuff.

I really liked Chicago when I was there but it was too short a time to check everything out. <br /><br />Those real body displays ARE freaky - I'm with the kid. lol<br /><br />Sonic - yum. I love Sonic. They don't have one in my city - boo. :)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320961506471746567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-12199086656586517622011-08-11T08:12:32.772-04:002011-08-11T08:12:32.772-04:00I agree Val, Boston was nice but there is so much ...I agree Val, Boston was nice but there is so much more in Chicago. It's a great vacation city. We went to the Planetarium rather than the art institute. <br /><br />He was so cute Eyre. :-)<br /><br />It's a perfect vacation spot for families Jen. Well, expensive probably but so many activities and museums that cater to kids of all ages. I'm looking forward to being home though and in my own bed for a bit.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-55106422188892270632011-08-11T03:14:53.220-04:002011-08-11T03:14:53.220-04:00My kids would love all those museums!

We only had this past weekend and Monday in Chicago. :(<br /><br />We spent it all on the Chicago Art Institute, the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum (figures that you and your kid would have sprung for the Horses exhibit, while we passed on that but couldn't resist the Whales, ha, ha!), and the river/trolley tours. <br /><br />I would have loved to have seen the Willis Tower, the Navy Pier, the U-boat thing, the planetarium, and much more of Millenium park and the loop. <br /><br />You're so right about those city passes. We loved bringing those out and jumping to the head of the lines, and getting the special deals. :D<br /><br />We're definitely going to have to go back for a longer period of time. Boston was fun, but Chicago was just amazing!Average Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955137026396047753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-59962551214053284682011-08-10T23:51:17.416-04:002011-08-10T23:51:17.416-04:00Chicago is not the place to go if you want to rela...Chicago is not the place to go if you want to relax. Too much to see and do. I hate spending good money to go somewhere, then seeing nothing. May as well stay home. :-) I think we are getting tougher though, I'm no longer QUITE so exhausted by the end of the day.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-52593944970493814522011-08-10T23:40:34.059-04:002011-08-10T23:40:34.059-04:00I need a nap just from reading about your vacation...I need a nap just from reading about your vacation! You sure have crammed a lot in... wait, I know that about you, having gone on vacation with you once. ;)<br /><br />The rainbow was especially cool - sort of a consolation prize. :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.com
