chicago trip - day 2...

tuesday was another action packed day in chicago.
we got up early, had some breakfast and headed on our mile walk to the shedd aquarium.

it was very foggy and humid. as soon as as i took the camera...the lens got covered in condensation.

here's our cool dude waiting patiently in line.

once we got in we headed downstairs to the "wild reef" exhibit.

max loved looking at everything.

a very ugly "rhinofish."

this tank was filled with colorful fish and sharks.

we found nemo! :)

having some good ol family fun!

then we headed back upstairs to the caribbean reef tank.

max liked the stingrays.

wow!


daddy thought it was appropriate to buy some swedish fish for a little snack!
we headed to another downstairs exhibit and play area.

checking out the jellyfish.

visiting with the penguin!

we went into this welcome room after lunch to let max run around.

a puffer fish

these crab spiders were CREEPY!

max actually fell asleep in the aquarium. he got a little nap in on the walk back to the hotel.

my husband and i.

there was an irish cow outside the hotel's irish pub.

beautiful chandeliers inside the hotel.

we headed up the room and got changed to go swimming.

havin fun in the pool!

what a big boy!

after another short nap we headed to the patio of the irish pub for a beer.

max was being silly and talking to all the people walking by.


checking it all out!

we were trying to decide where to order our deep dish pizza from.
after talking to a few employees, we decided on lou malnati's.
my cousin kyle lives in chicago so he came to our hotel to hang out and have dinner with us.

daddy read max some books before bed.
our little guy was so sleepy.
