Aunt Sandy and a Morning at the Museum

Wednesday morning it was raining again and we went to the Museum of Science and Industry with my Aunt Sandy. Aunt Sandy is my dad's younger sister and we used to come visit her every summer when I was growing up. We would do the museums and my dad would take my brother Andy and I to a Cubs game. Then when I was in college and after graduation I came to Chicago frequently to visit her and my friend Anne who lived here at the time.

We had a nice morning at the Museum and a good time catching up with Aunt Sandy. I knew Rollie would love this place and they had some great stuff for the kids as well. And apparently this week all Chicago residents receive free admission into the Museum of Science and Industry, so they counted our whole family as Chicago residents with my aunt. It was going to cost us $40 and we got in FREE!

Here are some pics from our morning:

I don't think Ben really wanted to be in this picture

Ben saying "please" to the ball. He didn't understand how the air stream worked and that he couldn't grab it :)

Tonight we're going to have dinner with my Aunt Sandy at her condo and tomorrow we're going to attempt the sailboat tour again before having dinner with my old roommate Jen and her husband Dan. We also need to find a time to walk through Millineum Park and see the "Bean". It's new since I was last here 9 years ago.
