Chi Town


We took off for Chicago for the start of our Spring Break. Last year I was in Santa Fe with my mom while Jay and kids explored the Windy City so they were anxious to show off their favorite spots and finally get back in a cab for a ride without their car seats! We visited the Museum of Science and Industry and the Field Museum and spent the rest of the time eating out at some great restaurants, walking our way down Michigan Ave. and just hanging out as a family away from all the projects that surround us at home.

Henry got up close and personal with a mastadon relative at the Field Museum.


Enjoying a steamer at a cool little breakfast place not far from our hotel.


Pretending they are statues at Millennium Park.

Below they were checking out a mummy from above.





The Museum of Science and Industry was SO much fun. They stood in front of a screen and waited for butterflies to land on their heads.


It shouldn't surprise us that they would rather be snapping photos of us for a change of pace. They didn't bring their cameras along so they used ours and wanted to each do something silly with us. The below pic is my favorite since Henry focused on his sister rather than us and rightly so!

Bryn took this one of Henry with us in front of the "bean".
