Last day in Chicago!

Today we went to the Adler Planetarium, which was interesting but not nearly as good as the Field Museum. There were still lots of hands on things to do (read: buttons to push!) for Nicholas, but I think Megan was museumed out.






The Night Sky presentation was very good and the building itself is beautiful.














We also got to see the Gemini capsule which was cool,









and both kids liked the remote moon rover.












After the Planetarium, we walked around Millennium Park. The Cloud Gate was the best part. We also saw the Crown Fountain and walked across the BP bridge.












We kept walking until we came to the Chicago River.
They say they dye it green for St. Patrick's Day, but it looks pretty green to me already!

Finally, we made our way up to Wrigley Field. The neighborhood around the stadium was pretty, with row houses and a lot of trees.












Our last dinner in Chicago was at Weber Grill. The cook everything on weber grills and I guess they keep the extras over the doorway.












Tomorrow we head to Batesville, IN to visit our old friend Kelly and her family!
