our second day and it was amazing. We spent almost the
entire day there, the pictures don't even begin to show
how huge the place is. They have an entire 727 airplane,
a German submarine and a coal mine. It was all very
interactive so the kids and David and I really had a great
time. After that we headed to the overlook ledge at the
Sears Tower building(now known by some other name, but
after flying over it for years and calling it the Sears Tower
I have no need to change). It was interesting to step out
over the city and they said you could see four States, but I
only counted three, oh well. It was a busy day and we ended
it with a train ride back to the hotel, there is certainly plenty
of transportation options in that city!
Below is a train set that was huge, and had models set
up of the Chicago and Seattle, Washington skylines. It was
very impressive, and for Matthew it was heaven on earth!
Matthew worked on making his own tornado but
there was also a floor to ceiling one, that was
quite impressive as well!
The United Airplane was like heading back to work. It
had the insides as well and working landing gear. They
even had a real United Pilot in there to answer questions!
This was down were the submarine was, it was a game
you could play!
Always a clown!
This was a screen that where ever the kids touched
the things coming down would look like they
were catching in their hands. Very interesting!
Heres the first view when we got out on the 103rd
floor and looked out!
Sitting in the glass boxes!
We found Chicago style pizza for dinner that night,
they were very happy about that and ate all but a
piece!
Train ride back to the hotel, of course it wasn't a long
enough ride for Matthew!
