Visiting Chicago Day II
Today we are visiting The Museum Campus; the Field Museum of Natural History, Shedd Aquarium, and Adler Planetarium. Amazing sidewalks and cycle paths around here and surrounded by Lake Michigan. We spent 2 hours at the planetarium next stop was the aquarium but the line up was a mile long to get in so we went to get lunch instead. Pizza on the Campus. Nothing special, we should have looked for a better restaurant. It was getting hot, hot now.

Line up past the stairs waiting to get in!!
We walked back to Grant Park to Buckingham Fountain. Beautiful, over looking Lake Michigan and
gardens surrounding it.

It was just too hot to walk around anymore so we decided to head back to the campsite. The traffic heading out of the city was just nuts. We assumed an accident had happened but didn’t see anything. By the time we made it back those thunder clouds were starting to appear. Rain!! It’s not suppose to rain on us during the day!! It rained and thundered during the night but no wind like in Minnesota. Well we are outta here in the morning heading to Michigan.
