The Museum of Science and Industry

Time to head into the city! There are so many great museums in Chicago, and so little time. We opted to hit the Museum of Science and Industry since it had a little something for everyone. We spent the entire day here and we were tired! Wish we could have had a bit more time but alas we tried to see it all. I think my favorite exhibit is the cute little chickens, watching them hatch is fascinating. I know Lincoln's favorite exhibit was the model train/city, we had to drag him away from this. Conor really enjoyed the real submarine tour we were able to go on, this was really interesting for everyone. Josie loved anything that was hands on, she liked the weather exhibit area, the cow milking exhibit and the kids play area. It really is amazing how many neat things they have under one roof.
