Museum of Science & Industry

We recently went to the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago.  Emma and I had never been, and Eric had only been once a few days earlier with his work, and didn't get to see everything he wanted.  We arrived a few minutes before they opened, and spent almost the entire day there.  They are only open for 7 1/2 hours, and we were there for 6 1/2 of them.  And no, we didn't see everything.  We'll definitely be going back.   We had so much fun, and Emma loved just about everything.  I thoroughly enjoyed seeing her excitement at trying and seeing so many fun things.  We decided to stop in Chinatown for some dinner before coming home, and it was delicious.  It turned out to be a fabulous day.

Definitely not the most magnificent Chinatown I've ever been to, but our dinner was great, so I'm not complaining.
