Trip to Chi-Town

A.K.A. Chicago.

A couple weeks ago, we took a little family vacation to the "Windy City". We went to a couple museums and stayed in a hotel with a pool. We had so much fun together!
During the 4-hour drive there, we told the boys about skyscrapers. As we got closer to the city, we went through a town with some 6-story office buildings. Mikey saw those tall buildings and said, "Look Mom! Skyscrapers!!" Boy, was he in for a treat!

Chicago Children's museum:


We worked together as a family and built this super-tall skyscraper!

Trevor taking in the view:


I love this guy!!

Look Mom! I'm the Sears Tower!!





We didn't get many pictures at the Shedd Aquarium because it was EXTREMELY crowded, AND a couple of us were REALLY tired from staying up too late at the hotel, so we cut our visit here short. But we LOVED the 4-D Diego movie, especially the part when we got sprayed with water!




I love this giant statue of "Man Hugging Fish" outside the Aquarium.

That looks like such a fun trip for your family. I love the pictures and getting to hear about everywhere you went.

And Jaron is crazy for biking in that weather!

What a fun trip! I love that you make it a point to take your kids to museums and educate them through play. Thanks for always inspiring me. :)
