plan was to take the train. However, apparently, Metra is cash only. Chuck and I generally don't carry much cash, and we had NONE yesterday (oops). So, we couldn't take the train (unless we wanted to run to an ATM and take the next one which didn't leave for another hour). We drove.When we got there, apparently, parking also requires cash. After some driving, we found the Museum parking garage which takes credit cards! Yea! I thought you could pay for everything with cash these days? What happened to the love of plastic?!
The Shedd was great - Chuck gets in free as an educator and that ROCKS. (I figured I should too, since I "home-school" Carly, but they didn't go for it...). The girls had a lot of fun. It was tough on Brianna, not getting a nap all day, but she was good. Finally, at 4pm she fell asleep in Dadda's arms. It was so sweet!
To top things off, the van started overheating (we have a major leak) on the way home forcing us to stop and adding another 45 minutes to our drive.
What a day!

That sounds like an adventure! It always is when you leave the house with a plan (that usually goes awry:) I didn't know educators got in free. That's awesome! Do you just need to have your school id? I always carry mine just in case. There was (as in no longer there) this bookstore who gave discounts to teachers.
