Chicago - Day One

So, day thirteen saw us take our first proper trip around Chicago...

On todays agenda was the Adler Planetarium and the Shedd Aquarium.

Views of Chicago

Adler Planetarium

The view from the outside of the Adler Planetarium, not the most impressive of buildings but inside it held some real treats...

The theatre that held one of the two shows about the solar system we visited, the Samuel C Johnson Family Star Theatre

Italian Ice Lemon Cake, which is literally Lemon flavoured ice. It is fair to say I was somewhat disappointed when presented with this - I had been expecting some form of lemon cake with icing...
