This year, we did a long weekend in Chicago. We departed Saturday with tickets to the 4 p.m. show of The Blue Man Group. TJ had no idea what to expect and loved the show! We stayed downtown at the Marriott so TJ enjoyed his first taxi ride. His eyes were as big as dinner plates as our driver weaved in and out of traffic!
Sunday morning we visited the Shedd Aquarium. Highly recommend it but arrive early as the entrance lines were very long.
We ate well. We dined at Harry Careys and the Cheesecake Factory. Both times lucked out with seating in the bar so we could catch up on the NCAA games. WAY TO GO BUTLER!!!!!!
TJ wanted to visit Nike Town so we hiked the Magnificient Mile - Ahhhh the stores! Good thing for my wallet that it was too cold to really shop til I dropped.
On Sunday we met up with TJ's classmate, Nolan and his family at the Museum of Science and Industry. Too much to see, do and learn in one day. Must return! Todd and I really enjoyed the Human Body exhibit - TJ saw the first display, went white and sat it out! He will not be burdening us with med school!
All in all it was a great long weekend. We are considering New York for Fall Break!
