On Monday (July 25), our last full day in Chicago, Jennifer and I took all the kids to the Children's Museum in Navy Pier. The boys had a blast! There were so many different areas to play and explore. They had a water room where you could pump water, spray water, and lots more. They had a camping room, bug room, dinosaur room, Braden found an enlarged chess set, and so much more! After the museum we enjoyed lunch at one of the restaurants in Navy Pier and then watching the water spouts in the atrium while we waited for the dads to meet us after work. Travis and Bryant were so nice, they decided that Jennifer and I needed some time away from the kids, so they took the kids back to the Children's Museum while we had girl time. We walked back to the hotel, had a glass of wine, and then hit Michigan Avenue for shopping. We browsed around for a few hours, but didn't find anything worth purchasing. Although we did find a Disney Store and ended up getting skateboards for the older boys and Phineas and Ferb plush dolls for the other kids. Figures! We get time away from the kids for ourselves and what do we do? We buy things for the kids!
Before heading out to dinner we enjoyed the Manager's Recetpion in the hotel lobby. They had free drinks and snacks for all the hotel guests. Logan must have had too much fun at the museum that afternoon, becasue while sitting in Travis' lap he just passed out. Once he woke up (he took a 10-15 minute power nap) the 9 of us headed out to dinner again in the city. We walked down Michigan Avenue, again, to the John Hancock building where at the bottom we found The Cheesecake Factory. We had another nice dinner with drinks, and yummy dessert that we took back to the hotel to enjoy.
