Museum of Science and Industry

Busy Day in Chicago with a visit to the observation deck of the John Hancock building at 9am and then off to the Museum of Science and Industry to see the whole bunch of cool stuff. I visited this museum as a kid and remember the captured German submarine U505. Of course when I was there, the sub was outside and you didn't need a tour pass to walk thru it. Anyway, they moved it indoors and we didn't get in it because you had to reserve a time. The museum was fantastic for kids with a ton of things for them to fiddle with. Tractors, trains, planes and the human heart. Good times... We had lunch at the ESPN Zone so that we could play video games and then the boys had a nice nap.

We found a nice park a block from the hotel a block off Michigan before dinner. We had pizza and pasta at an old pizza joint on N. State Street and then got ice cream again. It's been a nice couple days here and the boys really like the taxi car rides. Sam said he wanted to live here and have Grandma and Grandpa visit and do new things. I posted a collection from the Mad River Railroad Museum on Flickr. I got a good shot or two. Enjoy. http://www.flickr.com/photos/homerclees/sets/72157594236038261/ Posted by Picasa
