We woke up to a RAINY day on our last day. We thought rain was probably in the forecast so we made sure to plan inside museums for the last day...and made sure to bring our umbrellas. It was quite interesting getting to the subway stop in the RAIN!
First stop - Shedd Aquarium
Our girls loved the penguin area!
Since we've been back we've seen Finding Dory, and it's so funny how many things at Shedd Aquarium were similar to the one on the movie. The girls kept saying "remember when we saw that?"
Seeing the Beluga Whales..
Waiting for the Aquatics Show to start..
The weather was back to being beautiful when we got out and we grabbed some Chicago hot dogs from a vendor and sat right by the water to eat a little picnic lunch...SO FUN!
Then we hopped on a bus to the Museum of Science and Industry...didn't know how this one would be, but again...it didn't disappoint. I bet we didn't even see 1/3 of the museum but they had lots of cool stuff for the girls and we were having a blast! They had a huge room dedicated to this ginormous doll house...Brynn loved it!
Later in the afternoon Emory fell asleep in the stroller and we went into this "Kids Imagination Station" area...Brynn had so much fun working on different projects with Ryan. It was so cool to watch them build things and solve the problems together.
One of my favorite things was touring a coal mine and learning all about coal mining...I don't think I took one picture but it was SO INTERESTING. I can't even imagine what it would have been like to do that kind of work...WOW.
We ended the night (and the trip) with a visit to the American Girl store on Michigan Avenue..somebody had been patiently waiting ALL WEEK LONG to visit.
and one more stop for Chicago Deep Dish pizza...this time at Gino's, which was my favorite!
We also got another Sprinkles cupcake after dinner..HA! It was so sad knowing it was our last day in the city...Brynn started singing this funny song about "Good bye Chicago" and Ryan was walking across the BUSY BUSY STREET videoing and it was hilarious.
If you are thinking about visiting you definitely should. I can absolutely say it was an AWESOME week with our girls and one of the best trips we've ever taken!
