We're going out on Thursday, August 5th for the weekend. I don't know about anyone else.
Hoping to meet with Domi and Jeff at the very least. We are not scheduled kind of people and we are not the type that feels like the entire crowd must do everything together.
In fact, if that was the case, we'd disappear into the woodwork and go off exploring on our own (which we most likely will do).
Neither one of us has been to Chicago so we are working on our list of things we want to see and eat and drink and do....
Museums. The Field Museum of Natural History is one of the best in the world, and probably the best in the country. (Don't be frightened of the tyrannosaur; she's dead.) The Adler Planetarium is one of the best planetariums I've ever seen, and the Museum of Science and Industry is the largest science museum in the country. The Shedd Aquarium is one of the largest in the world, and one of the best in the country. Probably the best east of California, really.
They're all very close to one another, and in fact, everything but the Museum of Science and Industry are located on the same lakeshore campus. I wouldn't try to do more than one a day, though. You'd be cheating yourself. If you only have one day for museums, I'd suggest you pick which one most closely suits your interests and have at it. Whichever one you choose, you'll remember it the rest of your life.
Have fun! God, I love Chicago.
