Mini Vacation Day #2

















By far one of my favorite pictures ever, the looks on their faces is priceless!








We were going to start day two off by getting up and having brunch at the Chicago Zoo. But, we woke up kind of late and it was raining when we woke up so we started out morning out kind of slow. We ate breakfast I had brought from home and just laid around for a little bit, we watch Pretty Woman which makes me laugh when I think about it. Once the rain ended we headed back to the subway and back to the Navy Pier. We rode the water taxi to the Shedd Aquarium from the Pier, Riley LOVED the boat ride but wanted to go swimming. The Shedd Aquarium was having a promotion with Bank of America if you had an account with them you got in free, we only ended up having to pay for Tony so that was a plus! It was a pretty neat place, we all really enjoyed it. After the aquarium we walked through Grant Park, as much as we could there was a huge concert going on, and then we walked to Millennium Park. The kids played in the water and we weren't prepared for that, they were soaked and poor Tony didn't have any dry clothes, but he still says it was worth it . After what seemed like forever we headed over to the "bean" at Millennium park. This was a must see on my list at Chicago and it did not disappoint! Tony couldn't understand why I wanted to go see it until we got there and he realized how cool it was! By this point we were all exhausted and rode back to where we were staying and walked to a pizza joint, another must on our list was REAL Chicago style pizza and Giordano's was OUTSTANDING! Comes highly recommended by all of us the next time you visit Chicago!
