Today we woke up to rain. Thank goodness it stopped before we left, or it would have been a long, wet walk to the zoo. The Lincoln Park Zoo is amazing! The exhibits are very nice and give most of the large animals both indoor and outdoor access. It was really cool! The best part was that it costs absolutely nothing!!!!! How cool is that?
After the zoo, we started out long trek back to downtown Chicago. Our next stop was the Hancock Observatory! That was really cool! We were up at the 93rd floor! You could see for miles! It was a bit hazy that day, as clouds were coming in for the night.
We spent the evening at Navy Pier. We went through this great maze (mirrors, bubbles, tight spaces, an elevator drop - eek!) It was so much fun! We were so tired of walking that after dinner, we sat down and ate funnel cake! Delish! Right as fireworks started, the rain also came pouring down. We had a fireworks show made by man and by God! The lightning was amazing! The walk back was very wet! You ring out water in my hair. We were so wet that the umbrella that we had brought along was no longer worth it!
What an end to the day!
