Play Well

I loves me some Legos and so does Dad, who took me to The Museum Of Science & Industry once mainly to see what ended up being a rather small Lego exhibit. Not one to quit, Dad stumbled upon The LegoLand Discovery Center all the way out in Schaumburg. Despite his many misadventures to the suburb a mall built, we ventured there one Summer Saturday afternoon and ended up having a great time, which also included a nice lunch at Meatheads. Once inside, I was in Lego heaven. Miniature cities, Lego jungle, a dragon ride, mini-factory tour, 4-D movies, Harry Potter ride, STAR WARS and more. Not surprisingly, Dad and I returned during my recent Summer limbo (post-summer camp/pre-school) and decided to get a year membership, which the ticket guy gave to us for about $18 each. Awesome deal.

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.

The Field Museum

My Chicago Museum tour continued a couple weeks ago with a visit to The Field Museum, one of our cities oldest. Mom, Dad and me went to the (old-school) Real Pirates exhibit, but before we zoomed through that we checked out the huge display of taxidermy, from the littlest bugs, to the largest mammals. However, I was more into the old phones and buttons on the sometimes outdated displays. Dad took some photos throughout the short visit, but the pirates were off limits. I had a blast, got a snake, and we became members, so I am sure I'll be back soon to see the rest. Admittedly, it's got a little ways to go to overtake my love of the Museum Of Science Of Industry, which I visited a couple months ago with Gigi, Papa, and Dad. Thanks to Dad's hard drive fail I have no photograph memories of the visit. Gotta go back.
