Chi-Town day 2

low key but we’re having fun. today was the museum of science and industry, one of our favorites.

found this little bit of scouting lore on the way to dinner.

first up though, last night’s dinner. had to stop by for the original.

quick snap looks like it came off a menu.
all these years, I think this is the first one of Michele I have in the tractor.

from here, I’ve got a number of shots taken by the boys. I’ll make sure to credit the photographer in each caption.

E has some talent, he framed up a few nice shots. here’s one of A playing one of the farm games.
another artistic E shot, this time of me inspecting the Mold-A-Rama’s.
half the dang exibits were crashed out at windows error screens. we walked across a windows 11 start menu on the way into the place for cryin’ out loud. luckily E got some picture evidence.
man, I still look fat from E’s perspective 😂
boys getting ready to fly. OMG it was fun to watch.
E, dude, I need to get you your own camera! nice shot.
A loves planes and got a nice dramatic diving shot of this bad boy.
I like the hodgepodge of eras and transportation modes. good shot A!
neat, I think this is my dad’s favorite car, a Duesenberg!
look at all these chicks!

more to come, E and A took loads of pictures with my camera but I’m car posting right now so I’ll need to do more from the hotel (update- done, added a bunch more photos). we ran into some of our very best friends at the museum! unfortunately they were being far more efficient than us so they were finishing up as we were just stopping for a snack. still, always fun running into people you know out in the world :).

ha! not us thankfully but ruined this persons day.

and that brings us up to now. we’re back in the hotel, planning the next move as A puts together his model. check back again later for more 🙂

update- more!

been a lazy day but we headed out for dinner.

best burger I’ve had in Chicago so far.
nothing like that quality Chicago infrastructure! oh well, didn’t collapse when we headed up.

next up, dessert.

next door to dessert.
not sure they deserve it but it is vacation so we found the boys a fish. boys, do better tomorrow, you’re welcome.

and that’s it for now. heading back to the room so we’ll see if the spirit moves me to post more.

back in the room, we made a stop.

Navy Pier. was a beautiful night.
see 🙂
got a couple nice shots.
see.
and finally, on the way home we passed a fire emergency being handled by Chicago’s Finest. this truck was a foot from my car window.
