Chicago, Day 3. It was sunny today, so we went to the Sears Tower, and went up to the 99th floor. It was very cool being able to look all around. The city looked very big. I could see the giant Blackhawks jersey on the brontosaurus in front of the Field Museum--it looked like a red dot.


Then we went to the Museum of Science and Industry. More locusts there, of course. But there was also a German U-boat, U-505, that we captured during WWII. We walked though it as part of the exhibit. It was amazing.


We had lunch at a yummy Greek cafe in Hyde Park, and then headed north to Millenium Park to see the "Bean." It's a giant bean-shaped sculpture, shiny and reflective. It was fun to look into and take pictures of.


We went to the movies that night, and the theater was pretty nice. We saw Star Trek. I liked it, although I never saw any of the older Star Treks, and the time travel thing wasn't done so well. I will go see more Star Treks though.
