Somewhat last minute, we decided to take a little excursion downtown. We rode the train (more cost-effective AND more fun for the kids), stayed at a hotel (with a pool!), and enjoyed the Chicago Children's Museum (Thursday evenings are FREE!). The kids had such a fun time, and it was a great way to end the last full week of break.
On the train, headed down!
What's more fun than jumping on the beds in the hotel room?
Some pics from the museum...
The last time we visited this museum was almost exactly 5 years ago. Here's a picture Meredith and I took that day...
And, an attempt at recreating that picture on the same canoe...
And....Shane being silly in the hotel...
Breakfast!
