Chicago! Day One Shedd Aquarium

Last Sunday we headed up to Chicago with Grandma and Grandpa Fox for a little birthday trip for Cara! We wanted to take her to American Girl for a birthday dinner. Our first stop on our way into town was a visit to Shedd Aquarium. Scott dropped us off and went to find a place to park. We walked up to the long line outside and were waiting for buy tickets when all of the sudden it started a huge downpour and we got drenched! It was thundering and pouring down buckets so we bolted up the stairs to the exit door just to get in out of the weather. We decided to call Scott and he had not parked yet so he picked us up and we headed to the hotel to go change. I was not about to spend a few hours in the aquarium soaking wet.

So heading up the stairs take 2, At least we already had tickets by this time and got to avoid the long ticket line.
