Emilee's first train ride! We missed the train in Fox Lake by literally 2 seconds. So we ran to the car and drove to Crystal Lake to catch the next train. When we arrived at the station we walked to Michigan Ave. On the way we had to stop for lunch - Alex's pick - Panda Express - yuck! Our destination was the Shedd aquarium for the opening of the new Oceanarium. It is free all week dont ya know? Well we did and about a million other people. When we got there at about noon the line was out the door and down the museum campus all the way to Soldier Field. If you are familiar with that area of Chicago - that is a ton of people. The tour guide stated the wait was 3.5 hours. We took a democratic family vote and decided against waiting. We tried the field museum and that too was a huge wait. So we walked along the lake front - it was a beautiful day - not too hot, not too breezy and not too cold. We played in Grant Park and watched them set up for the taste of Chicago and we played at the Bean and at the giant water features. It was a great family day for us! Sean liked it so much he recommended we do one a month. Mom plays hookey from work and Alex and Andrew hang out. So Mom suggested we all pick a destination/activity for a month so Andrew has July...where will we go?
