The Last Days of Summer School Holidays

One week to go and this years summer holidays will be over.
We hadn't been downtown Chicago at all this summer.
This time we thought we would do something different. Today we went to the Museum of Science and Industry. One exhibit called Body Worlds, which shows the human body and all its organs without skin. Including the lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, skeletal system and everything else. Hunter, I discovered was not built to see this in quite such detail! He almost lost his breakfast. He sat and rested for a few minutes to regain his colour, then we had to leave and try another exhibit.
Next was trains! Right up his alley! We spent longer there than I would prefer, but he enjoyed that much better.
Then onto a submarine exhibit U505, a German sub captured in WW2. Very interesting.
Next was lunch and then the remainder of the day wandering around Millennium Park. We caught the train downtown, so the ride back gives me the chance to update this blog!
