We enjoyed a fun day in the windy city. We started by taking the architecture boat tour. It was really interesting, and we learned a lot. Next, it was time to go to Navy Pier. We then went on the Ferris wheel. Next, we headed to the John Hancock building. We went up to the observation deck, which is on the 94th floor. You could see everywhere. It was awesome! The kids did the "tilt". It is where the window panels tilt 30 degrees out, so you are facing downwards. They thought it was cool. On the way to the train, we stopped in at the Museum of Modern Art. They didn't have very much to look at, since they were doing a bit of construction.
Finally, we ended the day at Wrigley Field for a Cubs game. We had great seats! It was so fun to see the old stadium. There was quite a bit of action in the game--2 different home runs (one by the Cubs, the other one by the Reds), a call at home plate, which was reversed--it gave the Cubs another run! Then the rain started! We waited it out for a while. We were seated about 30 rows from the field, which lucky for us, we were one of the first rows with an overhang to keep us dry. They put the Stanley Cup Finals up on the big screen for us to enjoy during the delay. Then they made the announcement that lightning was in the area, and everyone had to go to the concourse. At this point, we decided to leave. (we had waited over half an hour) It was an enjoyable game, even though we had to leave early.
