Day seventy-four we headed to Chicago to visit the Field Museum, home of Sue the T-Rex! Sue is the most complete dinosaur skeleton ever found to date, and on display at the Field Museum. We drove to the Rosemont train station, and took the train into town. Sam loves to ride the train, as do Jim and I, so that was part of the attraction for us! Sam has ridden on more trains and subways at only eight years old than I did before I was 40!
The Field Museum was HUGE! We didn’t realize how extensive it was, and we bought tickets to see the 3D movie as well as two special exhibits they had on display. By four o’clock, we were racing around trying to get to the Whale Exhibit, but didn’t realize it closed at four. The staff was kind enough to make a note on our tickets to honor our visit for another day during the week.
The Field Museum is located right on the lake, next to the Shedd Aquarium, and just down the way from the planetarium. We snapped a few pics of the gorgeous Chicago skyline, which included the Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sear’s Tower).
Before hopping on the train for the journey home, we stopped at Giordano’s for their famous deep dish pizza! Yum yum!! It was delicious!
