A new week

And a new set of adventures to be had.

For starters, you could say we were
Transformed by Chicago...
Nah, we just stumbled upon the filming of Transformers 3

Can you guess which Thing was most jazzed by this unexpected finding?

We found our way to the giant kidney bean...


Found ourselves being overwhelmed by all that the Museum of Science and Industry had to offer..

Next up...was the trip to the Top...

Where even the teen Thing went out on the ledge...

So, now we're on to a new day...
With the first stop, Soldier's Field
(sorry, no Bears were spotted)

We'd heard this place held a surprise or two...

Hello SUE!

So shy around cameras...

My turn to choose:

Another unexpected discovery..
(yes, he managed to fit his entire body in that box)
No rest of for the weary...
We're off to the Pier and some fireworks

And finally...we're almost ready to head home..
But first, let's kill some time with the critters at
the Lincoln Park Zoo

If you don't have girl Things, then the only shop on Michigan Ave.
worth stopping at is

And that folks, is a wrap...
Chicago is indeed a fabulous family friendly destination to check out!

Glad you're having a good time! Of all of the cities Katherine has been to, Chicago is her all time favorite. She'd go back tomorrow if we'd take her. :)

You were almost in my backyard! We heard about Transformers 3 being filmed - you are so lucky to have seen it. Love all the attraction you visited. I have to go to that glass overhang - I hear it is quite un-nerving.

Looks like you had a fantastic time. The boys are looking so incredibly grown-up!
