MSI


My January tour of Chicago's museums continued with the first of two visits to the Museum Of Science & Industry. While I said below that the Field Museum was one of my favorite museums, the MSI is my favorite, as my two subsequent February and one March visit helps to prove.
On my first excursion of 2010 I checked out the Lego architecture exhibit, the Circus, The White House- and of course- the planes and trains. On those other trips I saw The Human Body, Mysteries of Egypt and The Living Sea at Omnimax and just went to see the brand new permanent exhibit Science Storms with Gigi and Papa. I have a feeling everyone who takes me to the MSI is enjoying it as much as me.

Mummies and Dinosaurs Oh My


I consider myself an avid museum goer and one of my favorites is The Field Museum. The place is so big that the I was not able to see it all the first time there, so on my next visit I made sure to explore the giant pyramid and all it's mummies. This experience inspired daddy to wrap me in toilet paper when we got home. I also saw Dinosaurs Alive! 3D and the great dino exhibit afterwards. I have been back twice since and am heading to Member's Night in March to see the new Mammoths And Mastodons exhibit.
