Fun, Fun, Fun
You know what? It can be fun to get out on the weekends. Today, I visited the Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum and the Field Museum. You probably figured out what kind of stuff that they have at Adler. The Field Museum is mainly natural science. I spent pretty much the entire day at those two museums. The cool thing is that those two museums, plus the Shedd Aquarium, are all on the same campus, within easy walking distance of each other. I greatly enjoyed my time at both museums.
While I was making my drive in to Chicago, I heard on the radio that the Chicago Fire were playing tonight at home at 7:30. I was intrigued. After all, not only are Adler, Shedd, and Field all on the same campus, but it just so happens that Soldier Field, the home of the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Fire, is part of that very same campus. I figured that tickets to a pro soccer game would not be that expensive, and, at the same time, I would get to experience Soldier Field. After I left Field at 4:30, I walked over to Soldier Field and got my ticket to the game: Section 107, Row 2, Seat 15. For all of you who have never been to Soldier Field, that puts me at about the 35 to 40 yard line in the second row from the field level. It was an awesome seat! How could you call it a bad seat when you could hear the sound of the players kicking the ball and cursing at the refs? Unfortunately, I had to use stadium food for dinner. Not cheap.
Next Saturday, I am going to visit the Shedd Aquarium and the Museum of Science and Industry. Then, the next weekend, CJ comes up here! It’s a pity that Chief can’t make it too, but he’s already been here, done that. Can’t wait!
