On our 3rd day the gals headed back to Museum Campus on the same bus and subway to play at the Shedd Aquarium. The Museum Campus area is absolutely beautiful with so many areas to just lay out a blanket and enjoy a picnic. The field museum, the aquarium, the planetarium, and Solider Field are all located in this area. We had a great time looking at all the fish and animals but were a bit disappointed to not be able to see the big guys (whales, dolphins, penguins, sea lions and otters) because their exhibits were all under construction (they were redoing that whole area). We did get to see some sharks as well as a huge anaconda. After some fun in the aquarium we headed across the street to the children's garden, it's a small but very cool playground. Unfortunately it's aimed for older kids that can climb but Cristiana had fun just walking around and enjoying the beautiful weather we were blessed with.
After our fun outing Cristiana enjoyed sitting at the window like usual and I was able to get a good glimpse of the sun setting over the city. It was beautiful (the picture does it no justice) and then Cristiana enjoyed a bath in the deep soaking tub.
