Chicago trip : Part One~ Shedd Aquarium

Hi everyone! It's good to be home!
After taking a couple of days to actually get to Chicago, we finally made it! Getting out of Bradley airport in Hartford, Ct took extra time due to the bad weather.


On our first day in Chicago, we beelined over to the Shedd Aquarium. My family has a soft spot for all things animal, so it's the first place we wanted to go. Besides, what else should one do on a cold and nasty Midwestern afternoon? At the aquarium, they had so many cool exhibits, both temporary and permanent. I've posted a few pics from this part of my trip.The white Beluga whale is named Niya. She would just float around, propped up by her tail, and watch the people watching her. It was too funny!

I'll post more photos of the rest of the trip tomorrow! I just have to edit a bunch of photos that I took. I had a terrible time with my camera most of the trip ;0(
Well, enjoy the photos!
blessings,

Vacation Time for Me! Feb.25-March 1st

Well, Mom & I heading to Chicago for a few days of sight-seeing! Yes, great places like the Field museum and the Shedd Aquarium are calling my name! Of course, I wish that they weren't calling it in February. Just a tad chilly there this time of year! But, hey, who would want to be indoors in nice weather anyway! I'm really looking forward to seeing the Contemporary Art museum, as well as finding that superb slice of Chicago deep-dish pizza! (packed my Lactaid already!)

I'm also hoping that the hotel room, which has a little kitchen in it, also has a good-sized bathtub!Our tub at home is really shallow, and I just can't get a good soak in there. I'm bringing all my bath fizzies and stuff, just in case!

I don't know if I'll be able to post when I'm there. The hotel supposedly has a business suite , but I don't know what's available. If not, I'll just see you here when I get back!

Have a great week, and don't forget to visit the new featured Etsy sellers for this week!
