A Day At Museum Campus

It's back downtown...but this time it's the south loop, right on the lake...Lake Michigan. P: This area is called Museum Campus because there are 3 museums pretty much right on the same block.

VTBarbie: Well I see these two are close, but that one down there is a looooooong way to be considered in the same block.

VTBarbie: So which way should we go?

P: Let's start at the Aquarium and then walk around and end at the lake.

VTBarbie: Okay...let's go!

Pixxa: It's this way to the front.

VTBarbie: Now THAT'S a fish!!

P: Cute dolphin statues, right?

P: And here we are, in front of the John G. Shedd Aquarium.

A few steps later

P: And here we are in front of the Field Museum. This museum has historic type stuff like dinosaurs and mummies.

P: Stand over there VTBarbie so I can get your pix on Lake Shore Drive with the skyline in the background.

P: Okay now to the Totem Pole.

VTBarbie: Wow, it's so tall!

P: Okay, onward. We still have several stops and it's getting dark.

The girls walk along the west side of the museum.

VTBarbie: What's that huge thing across the street?

P: Let's go see.

VTBarbie: Soldier Field...ah...home of The Chicago Bears!!

P: da Bears!!!

VTBarbie: Wow...big stadium. And a cute little park leading to it.

P: Now we're headed to the Planetarium.

VTBarbie: I'm glad my feet aren't hurting with all of this walking!

Both girls laughed.

P: Guess who?

VTBarbie: Of course Copernicus would be sitting in front of the Planetarium.

VTBarbie: Wow, this is big too. I guess there's alot to learn about the planets and space.

And just a few steps away

P: Okay, let me get you in front of Lake Michigan with the night skyline...beautiful.

And with that, the girls jumped back in the car and headed toward home.

P: Here's a closer look at Soldier Field. You can see the old, original architecture, and the new architecture that they added for the stadium's expansion. Okay...let's go. I'm hungry!
