Today we drove into Chicago to visit the Field Museum. And we thought Seattle had bad traffic... I forgot how many trucks there are in the Midwest.
We met a friend of Tom's for breakfast then off to the Field Museum. Afterward I wanted to visit the area around the museum because the park was a small airport when I lived in ILL (40 year ago). It seems a better use as a park and they call the area the Museum Campus. It is fairly close to Grant Park so a great place to hang out.
We did not dawdle because we had plans to meet my brother for dinner and there's traffic. Normally in a big city like this we would take public transit if possible. But the Field Museum is not easily accessible via transit and would have been a hassle. Now don't get me wrong people...we've been to Japan, remember? We can do trains. Parking was pretty convenient, just really skinny spaces and the address of the parking garage is not really the address of the parking entrance - it's a game. Only one 'round the block and we found it.
Dinner with my brother & sister-in-law was nice but went by quickly. They we're just returning from a weekend trip and had to get home and we had to pack.
