The museums were great: we visited the aquarium, the observatory, the natural science museum and the ever fabulous Museum of Science and Industry. We saw the trains representing America from Chicago to the West Coast.
We went down into the coal mine, with a fabulous tour guide who kept us laughing.
We were overwhelmed by the visit of the U-boat (in its new home inside, unlike when Kristen saw it as a child).
We ate good food too, including the famous Chicago deep-dish pizza. We were also lucky enough to enjoy some fun evenings out on the town: jazz at Buddy Guy’s Legends, the Bulls playing basketball, and the Blue Man Group (not to be missed!).
Our only regret is that it was so cold while we were there that we couldn’t wander around much. The good news is that this gives us an excuse to go back when the weather is warmer!

Did you catch the walking tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright houses at Oak Park (or see those on Lake Forest Drive)? If not, one for next time.
