Chicago...Day 2...Museum of Science & Industry

(Facebook friends can see ALL of our Chicago pics on my page.)

We started our day at Bella Becino for breakfast.  After that we headed off on our adventure for the day.
Today we went to the Museum of Science & Industry.
Thought this was a really cool background in the submarine exhibit.
This is the U-505 German captured submarine from WWII.  We went on it and were given a tour.
Sorry, no photos allowed inside. :(
There's Natee...
Ready, Aim, Fire Ev!
Frontier exhibit.
Those crazy boys just clownin' around!
This was a really cool shadow exhibit and when you moved those little "bubbles"/colors followed you.
Farm exhibit.
Nate on the John Deere.
Now that's a big wheel!

An exhibit on poop?
Yes, what boy wouldn't want a picture with the "manure exhibit".
Astronaut Nate!
And astronaut Ev!
Apollo 8.
More exhibits on space...
Check out this futuristic car!
And of course, girly me had to have a pic with this futuristic light up dress, LOL!
This was a REALLY COOL shadow exhibit.  When you stand still, the fluttering butterflies will "land" on your shadow in various spots.  Very cool.
Ev and Nate getting a shower...
Nah...just a vapor/mist.
I thought this hall of mirrors was pretty cool.  What girl wouldn't?
I mean you can check your hair and make-up the whole length of the hall!  LOL!
We got to watch some baby chicks hatch from their eggs!
This first picture is the "older" ones who've dried out a bit...they're all nice and fluffy now.  Teehee!
Here they are actually hatching before our eyes!
This plane was huge!  We got to go into it and sit in the seats and explore.

We ended our day at Giordano's for some Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza.  My oh my was it tasty.  I think we must've walked 50 miles today.  Our feet feel bruised and we are exhausted.

Tomorrow we hit up the Field Museum and Adler Planetarium.

I'll be sure to share our "exciting" driving experiences here too.  You won't want to miss those.

Stay tuned for more adventures!
