Chicago Weekend – The Shedd Aquarium
20th August 2007
I know these posts are in random order about the weekend, but I’m doing the pictures I’ve got handy:) On Sunday afternoon, we headed to the Shedd Aquarium. We sort of missed turning into the museum/aquarium area down by the Lake, so I was checking out a map, and I’d been giving updates on what we should pass on our way there. As we were turning around, Analise said, "I need to see the map, Mommy!" I handed her the map, and she said, "Ok, we’ll go through a tunnel, and then we pass Soldier Field and then we turn." She was right on with her directions, having put together everything I’d just said over the course of 15 minutes. Then she said, "Ok mom, here you go" and handed me the map. đŸ™‚ She’s a smart cookie.
Fun fish fountain outside the aquarium.
They’ve got a Komodo dragon on display. It wasn’t actually as fun as the one we saw at the Birmingham Zoo earlier this year. But there was a huge inflated komodo dragon outside that you could walk under.
