Sorry, there’s nothing bootylicious goin’ on in this post…Just some pictures from our recent trip to the Shedd Aquarium where we saw dolphins, penguins, sharks, and oh yes – jellies!
This was part of Jeffrey’s birthday celebration last week where we took off work on Monday and Tuesday just to be together as a family. One of my favorite thing about Tuesdays is that general admission to museums in Chicago are FREE ! We definitely took advantage and hit up the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum. (Click here for a schedule of free museum days in Chicago in 2013).
I was surprised at how much the kids enjoyed the aquarium. They had pretty long attention spans for a 3- and 1-year-old. Perhaps it has something to do with the movie Finding Nemo. The Field Museum wasn’t as much of a success – probably because they are too young to understand the exhibitions and/or because they were tired by the time we got there.
This was also a fun time for me to get out and practice taking photos…it really tested my ability to shoot in dark places and moving objects. Umm, yeah. I still need a lot more practice! I did get a few good ones of the jellyfish and some up close and personal pics of dolphins and sharks. Click any thumbnail to activate the gallery. Enjoy!
