Chicago

July 21-24 we stayed at Chicago.  On the 21st we went to the Navy Pier and the Children's Museum where we got in for free with our Cosi pass.  The Children's Museum had alot of activities.  The part I liked at the museum was the miniature room full of "mini" stuff.  We went to Harry Carey's for dinner and I had the chicken nuggets.  They were the best.  After that we went to the Crystal Garden and the rides. 

The next day we started to walk to the Willis (sears) tower and then it started downpouring.  We got stuck under an awning.  Then we saw an Old Navy down the street.  Me mom and my brother all got Notre Dame hoodies.  It started lighting up so we started running and then we got to the tower and we went up to the top floor and stood on the glass balcony.  It was a cage of glass and me and my dad sat on it.  Then we got off the sears tower and then we walked to pizano's the pizza place.  We ate pizza.  We then walked to the Millenium Park and saw something that looked like a jelly bean that was a mirror.  Then we walked some more to buckingham fountain and then moved onto the museum of natural history.  AND THEN we went into the exhibit of the mummies and i became really interested in it.  and then they closed and we went onto the water taxi back to the pier and ate dinner bubba gumps and they had make your own sundae.

The 3rd day we went to the shedd aquarium and we had a "weaver" for a taxi driver.  we went to the part with the sharks and the fishes and i hid behind daddy the whole time.  and then it was time to see the dolphin show and they only did a couple of tricks.  later we went to see the beluga whales and the underwater dolphins, penguins, otters and whales.  it was cool.  then we went back to the museum of natural history and a tour guide saw me looking at a case that told us about them wrapping them up (mummification mommy says) where the tour guide explained how they covered the mummies in salt and wrapped them up.  then we left.  there was a baseball game that let out and we couldn't find a taxi.  then we started walking and walking and walking and then i got on dad's shoulders and got a taxi.  i was the good luck charm.  then we got out of the taxi and the restaurant had a 1.5 hour wait.  and then i had to go to the bathroom and my feet started hurting.  and then my head started hurting.  and then i was hungry.  we walked all the way back to the hotel because the wait was too long and we stopped at the cafe next to the hotel and i had a pretzel bread turkey sandwich and it was so good.  and then we went back to the hotel and tried to stay awake for the fireworks, but we couldn't.
