| This was on the interstate not too far East of the Mississppi in Illinois. The picture, of course, hides most of the beauty of the sunrise but it's still cool! |
 |
| I built that bad-boy!! |
 |
| This place is so cool!! Reminds me of the museum we went to in D.C. that had all of the airplanes and rockets and space capsules... |
 |
| This is a great big motorized rotating bed of sand with a handful of coins in it. I have video of it but it won't upload... the sand shifts as this rotates around and the coins float on the surface of it making tracks. Mesmerizing!!! I could have watched it for hours! |
 |
| Ocean buoy. Hard to believe they're that big but I suppose when you have a force as commanding as the oceans, you should probably have something of pretty good size to not get pulverized! |
 |
| The big water trays up above that you could make different waves with little levers and hammers to upset the water. The tornado machine is in the background here too. |
 |
| This room was super-cool! You had red, green & blue sliders to turn colors off or on full-blast and then see which words disappeared on the circles in front of you. |
 |
| Ahhhh, me pretties! |

| Caleb in the wind chamber. |
 |
| Mama. |
 |
| Dear ol' Dad |
 |
| And Robert! |
 |
| Pretty close to life-sized creation of the moon landing. |
 |
| Same but different angle. |
 |
| The Tesla coil! This thing was awesome!! |
 |
| Robby in the hamster wheel. |
 |
| After we were all museum-ed out, we walked from the museum to Giordano's in Hyde Park. Doesn't look far on the map but it seemed to take us a while to get there and even longer to get back once we were all loaded up on pizza. |
After this, we went back to pick up our car at the museum and headed out to find our hotel up by Midway Airport. Much to the kids chagrin, the hotel had no swimming pool and Caleb was HOT about that!
Oh well, dad found a cool beer store not too far away and got some good sudsy wetness!
