Photo Story Friday & A SLIGHT change in plans (part 2)

Oh, the suspense! Despite my doubts and fears, did I brave the spur-of-the-moment-travel-across-three-states-never-been-done-before road trip, by myself with two kiddos, and endure public bathrooms galore along the way to CHICAGO? (Read Part 1 to get the full effect.)

Did I take advantage of our current homeschool status to visit friends & family, explore a BIG city, experience public transportation, visit the Field museum, and see actual dinosaur bones including the most complete T-Rex skeleton in the world? Did we visit the famous Millennium Park, go to the slighty-over-the-top American Girl store, feed carriage horses in Ghiradelli Square, and play a few games of foozball with Grandie & Grandad for the very first time?

YES-SIR-REE!












And did I mention that Chicago is also the home to the world's LARGEST McDonald's?





Complete with its own "museum" and Happy Meal artifacts...

How's about that for an American history lesson?
