Our "big" vacation this summer was to visit Chicago. Todd and I had been there several times before, so we knew that it would be a great place to take Emma. With Daddy's White Sox fanaticism, we of course went to a game. We also took in the Museum of Science and Industry, with Emma enjoying the enormous model train set and a "ride" on a real Boeing 727. The boat tour and ride on the Navy Pier ferris wheel gave us beautiful overviews of the city (Emma said the ferris wheel "reached up to the sky"). We dined at Rainforest Cafe, with a "volcano" for dessert and a balloon rainforest frog. On our third day, we visited the Children's Museum, which captivated Emma with its hands-on exhibits, especially the ones encouraging role-play in different jobs. We finished our visit with a trip to the Field Museum (where we saw the real t-rex skeleton, aka "Sue") and Buckingham Fountain. Emma was a great little traveler, with rides on the El Train (subway), bus, trolley, and on foot (thank goodness we took the stroller). Emma's now just as convinced as we are that Chicago's the best city in the world!!!
