Father's Day in Chicago

Our first stop after getting off the train in Chicago was to head over to the Shedd Aquarium. I thought it would be as easy as getting bus passes and catching a ride over there. However, I didn't take into account that some of the Walgreens and CVS stores would be closed on Sunday. Nevertheless, after a few tries we found one that was open and took a bus to the Shedd. Our excitement for the Shedd had to wait again, because of THE LINE. We were told the wait to get into the Shedd would be 1 1/2 hours. (YIKES) We killed some time Geocaching and enjoy the waterfront while Mrs. Carlovsky patiently waited in line. Luckily, the wait only turned out to be about an hour.

Inside the Shedd is almost beyond words. All of the different things that you can see. I will let the pictures do the talking.

After the Shedd, we decided on a real Chicago supper. Chicago style hotdogs, burgers, and hot beef sandwiches at Portillo's. Great food. At supper though, we are all in agreement that Chicago is a great place to visit, but living in the city doesn't fit our group's style.

The clock seemed to fly by, so we only had time left to see Millenium park. This turned out to be a GREAT stop. After a long day, playing in the waterfall, and see "The Bean" seemed hilarious. Mrs. Carlovsky and Jordan led the craziness by being the first to go in the water.

From there we headed back to the train station to catch the 8:30 train back to Crystal Lake. Here I type this about a "Shedd Aquarium wait" away from the start of VBS at Lord and Savior. Enjoy the pictures!
