We went to the aquarium and it was sweet! I think Jelly-fish are the coolest fish alive!
Walking back from the aquarium back into the city was 1.5 mile walk.. it was right along the lake! Beautiful.. and alittle cold!
This is the famous Buckingham Fountain, but they were cleaning it, so we didn't get to see it going off! :(
The "bean" at Millenium park is this cool sculpture that shows your refleciton and is in the shape of a bean.
We also went to the art museum. I think i was alittle more excited about than Spencer but it was pretty cool. Ever since Highschool and having the most amazing art teacher, I have really developed an appreciation for art and aesthetics. We saw some paintings that my art teacher would talk about all the time and that are pretty famous!
"The girl with the ponytail" is a famous painting by Picasso and it's also a children's book. I had read this book to my students a few weeks before and so I was so excited to get a picture with it and show the kids!
We went up to the TALLEST building on earth, the Sears tower! There is a glass opening where you can walk out and look beneath you!
A little Chicago style deep dish pizza!!
Saturday we got up early and went to South Bend with Tyler and Clancee. We stopped at the Football Hall of Fame.
At the Notre Dame campus. Standing in front of "touch down Jesus".
