We had a great short vacation in Chicago. Landon loves baseball and he really wanted to see the Cubs play. Emerson really didn't! So she and I headed to Shedd Aquarium while the boys went to the game. We had a nice time seeing a 4D movie, dolphin show, and all the animals.
We both really thought the sting ray touch was awesome! The sting rays just floated by as you touched their backs. They also had a starfish touch, but Em didn't like that one as much because the water was 50 degrees!
Front row for the dolphin show. There were also penguins and a dog.
Best decorated dog statue: Bears and Cubs
After the aquarium, since the boys were still at the game, we walked (2.5 miles!) to the American Girl store, where Emmy picked out a dog for her doll with a leash, and Lego store. We were exhausted after this busy day.
Meanwhile, the boys were at the Cubs game.
They had a great time even though...
there were 3 rain delays! The game started 1.5 hours late. And sadly, the Cubs lost. But Landon had a great experience.
We spent the night and decided to go to Willis Tower the next day. Matt and I hadn't been up in years and the kids never had.
Landon wasn't too sure about going out in the glass box 103 floors above Chicago!
Afterwards, we had to stop at Giordanos and get some deep dish pizza. The wait was 20 minutes, the pizza took about 45, but it was worth it! So yummy!
A great end of summer adventure!
