Day and Night

The phrase of the day was "getting cultured for free." A lot of Chicago museums have free admission on Tuesdays, so it was easy to get some good sightseeing in. We went to the planetarium, the aquarium and the contemporary art museum, and attempted to go to the Art Institute (it was already closed). I'll write about them and post more pictures in either separate entries or the week in review entry next weekend.

For now, here's a look at the view of the Chicago skyline from Museum Campus. Museum Campus is an area of Chicago south of downtown on the lake, near Soldier Field. It's the home of the Adler Planetarium, the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum. And now I can say I've been to all 3! Although I haven't seen the new Jackie Kennedy exhibit at the Field Museum. It costs $25 to go to the Field Museum to see that. So expensive!

Here's the way the skyline looked when we got to Museum Campus after lunch:



Here's the skyline when we left Museum Campus (although the sky was actually a much darker blue):



Pretty skyline. :)
