Today is Matthias' birthday!!! After a quick breakfast celebration we were off and running.
First we checked out the Field Museum. We walked through the exhibit on Africa, learned about man-eating lions in Asia, and then checked out Sue the dinosaur. It was amazing how many stuffed animals there were at the museum...some of which were babies. Most of the animals were killed in the 1920s and 1930s but it was still shocking to see pandas, baby snow leopards, many animals that are endangered species.
After that we took a long bus ride along the Magnificent Mile to the Lincoln Park Zoo. It was cold so we didn't stay long but we said hello to the wolves, some lions, and apes.
Our next stop was to the Hancock Observatory. Unfortunately the view was somewhat limited due to the weather, but it made for some interesting photos of the Sears Tower.
Matthias was determined to see everything so we stopped by Millenium Park to take some photos at the Bee and watch the zamboni run at the ice rink. Then we headed back to the Christkindlmarket to grab a quick snack and buy a few German Christmas ornaments.
Then we were off to the airport to head home.
