The news so far

Trip to the Field Museum. Not bad at all. Drive down wasn't so bad. Not sure what time we left here but got there around noon. I was a bit hungry so we hit the little bakery they have on the premises. Jen's folks were pretty cool to hang with but then again they pretty much always have been.

Jen and I couldn't figure out what we were going to check out and what special exhibits everybody wanted to see. Well it was girls against the guy/dad in this case. So before we did this times event we checked out the rest of the museum for free. :D

The three of us checked out Machu Picchu around 2pm. They didn't have much about or artifacts from. They are still learning about the site since it's discover. It's been about 30 years since it was discovered. Still like to make the climb to check it out. It's a ton larger than it looks in pics, models, and descriptions. Hell I'd camp there for weeks just to check out some of those buildings. Just the different tier levels almost all around the different buildings is interesting. They are still not sure what animals were there for food, tier fertilization and working around the places. Lots of Llama hang time that is for sure. Still shocks me that they would spend their "summers" up there. That is about miles of hiking just to spend about 4 months or so up there. Interesting.

After that Jen's mom and I hit the Jackie O exhibit. She was a bit interested in it, I wanted to see some of the dresses and French speeches she had, and Jen was just so happy to check out their main gift shop. Still wish there was some photography allowed in some of the exhibits since there are not many pics available in the shops or net. Ah well.

There were some exhibits that I didn't get to see due to time restrictions. More than willing to go down again and check the diamond and other exhibits as well as the Shedd Aquarium. Planetarium would be pretty awesome as well. I think I'll leave that for a time when they really need me at work. :D

Will post more maybe tomorrow night after Lost. Sleep well all and travel safely those that are moving about the States.

oops thee place to eat when down there.
