Day 3 in Chicago-Adler Planetarium and Field Museum

Day 3...
Today we went to the Adler Planetarium first.  It was a lot of fun and very educational.  The photo above is the Gemini.
This is a photo of the video screen that filmed the boys while they were doing an anti-gravity simulator.
America's next astronauts...
Outside the planetarium...
Next came the Field Museum.
The boys and Jamie are actually in this picture on the steps of the museum...LOL...but I know you can hardly see them...teehee!
They had soooooo many neat displays!
This is Sue.  She is a T-Rex.  She is over 90% accurate with only a few of her bones being replicas.  The head on this display is a replica because her real head is too heavy to place on her skeletal frame.  Her real head is on display upstairs in the museum.
Part of the Asia Pacific exhibit...I loved this background. :)
Here's Sue's head!
One of mine and the boys favorite displays...pretty kitty!
Not a fan of the snake hanging down...ick!
And...here is Jamie and his twin brother, LOL!
I couldn't resist!  Teehee!
He's such a good sport!
We had such a good time.  We took a taxi to and from the museum campus...oh what an adventure that was!  We won't even get started on the driving habits of the Chicago folks...that would be a whole other post...and it might not be pretty.  LOL!
