Our Chicago (not restful) Vacation

 
 We took the Amtrak train there.  The kids were very excited about this on the way there, it lost its allure on the way home.
The Ferris Wheel on Navy Pier
 Checking out the Millenium Park Jelly Bean
 Below are some pictures from Lincoln Park Zoo.  This was probably the best Zoo experience either Kyle or I can remember--not too hot, not crowded, and the animals were lively and entertaining. 
 The kids could have watched these otters swim for quite a while.  They pretended they were scratching the otters' tummies.
 Genos East Pizza (and milk through a bendy straw!)
 Friday was rainy, so we went to the Museum of Science and Industry.  The kids really liked this first "Idea Center" where they could actually play with the exhibit. 

 The Water Taxi Ride back to the train Station.
 
 Josie was such a trooper the whole time--skipping naps and late nights.  It finally caught up with her on the walk to the train station.  She didn't even wake up while we boarded the train.
