Chicago Part Three

Then it was game time. 
It was another perfect (weather) day. The Cubs, of course, lost but it was an enjoyable afternoon.
Earlier in the day we'd heard there would be a symphony playing at Millennium Park so we ventured back that way but it was jam-packed with people everywhere. We hung around for a little bit to listen to some music but then decided to go find dinner.
We ate dinner at Pizano's (which was another really lucky find--it was delicious!)
After dinner, we went back to Buckingham Fountain to see the light and music show.
We topped off the night by visiting the Signature Lounge at the John Hancock building. The view wasn't bad but we felt it was overrated. 
Saturday morning we went back to Eggsperience for breakfast. I had the apple-pecan praline pancakes.
Bailey had strawberry cheesecake crepes.
Next we headed over to the Field Museum where we spent several hours going through exhibits (and we didn't even get through all of them).

The infamous Sue.
We saw a short 3D film about Sue. After finishing at the museum, we took a bus back to Navy Pier to pick up a few last souvenirs and to get some popcorn from Garrett Popcorn.
We had dinner at Portillo's and then Bailey and I took one last walk to the Magnificent Mile before our trip came to an end. 
This building was just around the corner from our hotel. It was where their class was held each day.
We got up early Sunday morning to catch our final ride on the L on the way to the airport. 
This was such a nice getaway from school and work...especially after Bailey had spent the last 2-2 1/2 months working on this project. We loved our time in Chicago and are already looking forward to our next visit!
