After having a half-hearty breakfast courtesy of Dunkin Donuts, we took a cab to our first stop, the Willis Tower.    We waited in line for a few minutes then took the lift up to the observation deck.

The kids had fun checking out the city’s skyscrappers and daring to walk out on the transparent platform to get a better view of things down below.

After checking out Willis Tower we decided to hop on the double decker bus to ferry us around the greater Chicago area.   Our first stop was the planetarium where the kids got to try out their lunar legs amongst a few other things.

How high can you jump on the moon?

After finishing up at the planetarium, we went for a stroll in the park adjacent to the lake.

After the planetarium, we planned on visiting the Aquarium however the long line wrapping around the corner convinced us to move on to our next stop, the Navy Pier.

We had lunch at Bubba Gump’s and spent most of the day at the Navy Pier shopping and various attractions.  The kids were disappointed with the Maze as the 4800 square foot maze took less than 6 minutes to figure out!

More photos and videos will follow later….gotta run.
