We’re back! and we had such a great time in the windy city (and yes it was windy and cold). There are so many great activities (even for little ones) we had no problem keeping busy. Here are just some highlights.
The Shedd aquarium was by far my favorite activity (and i think it was Simon’s too). It’s the largest all indoor aquarium in the world and it is impressive. We walked through an amazon rain forest, saw Sharks, belugas (including a baby one), penguins, sea turtles, dolphins, and countless other critters. After this day Simon sang “Baby beluga” endlessly!
