It's now Day 4, a beautiful Monday morning! We've got our hot drinks to keep us warm and it was time to go to the Museum Campus. Museum Campus is a 57-acre lakefront park that is home to, you guessed it, museums! The
Shedd Aquarium, the
Field Museum of Natural History, and the
Adler Planetarium are all surrounded by this green space. We set out to the Shedd Aquarium because we got lucky enough to be there on a museum free day! Most museums have free days throughout the week (with more free days in the winter, of course) so it's a great way for residents and visitors to take advantage of what Chicago has to offer. Check out the free days for 2010
here! Off we go!

 |
| Welcome to the Museum Campus! |
 |
| An appropriate first visit, a gator! |
 |
| The skin is here... but where's the snake? |
 |
| There it is! |
 |
| Fruits, that's more up their alley. |
 |
| Flotsam peeking out and Jetsam in the background. |
 |
| Flotsam and Jetsam of The Little Mermaid. |
 |
| Map Turtles? That's my kind of turtles! |
 |
| A fish with quite a fashionable fin. |
 |
| Finally, a dolphin comes close to the tank wall! |
 |
| Come back! |
Off to the penguin exhibit!
 |
| Pierre was there in spirit! |
 |
| I wonder if one of them is Pierre the Penguin. |
 |
| They are too adorable! |
Now it's time for the Beluga Whale tank!
 |
| So cute! |
 |
| Steph and Mike, move to Chicago, I found jobs for you guys! |
After a fun and educational visit to Shedd Aquarium, we decided to continue our walk throughout Museum Campus and stop by the Field Museum of Natural History before we headed home.
 |
| I think I found a prime snow rolling location. |

After our visit to Museum Campus, it was time to go home and get ready for our last dinner in Chicago! I wish my parents didn't have to go back to Florida, but alas, they had to. Thank you so much for an amazing four days, Mom and Dad! We miss you and cannot wait until we see each other again and especially the next time you and the rest of the family comes to Chicago!
 |
| Good night, Chicago! |
