We arrived at Chicago's Museum of Science & Industry just before 10:00 Saturday morning. We left around 4:30 that afternoon. It was a long day. Let me try to describe the interesting things we saw and the fun things we did.
First we saw baby chicks hatching and then we saw their older siblings
all fluffy and soft. We were not allowed to touch them but they did look incredibly soft. Had they not been inside a locked container I'm sure the crowds would have taken them out and
cuddled
each and every one. There were scale models o
f both Seattle and Chicago. The detail was amazing! There were simulators of all sorts, games to play, technology to play with,
simulated cow milking
machines and even the Wright Flyer to see. There were full scale planes on the upper balcony level. We had fun in the Hall of Whispers and viewing ourselves on a thermal imager. There was 'Brain Food' to eat at the cafeteria but it didn't seem much like brain food to me.
Too much sugar and fat for the brain
to maintain equalibrium! There was even an example of how manure can be used as energy on a farm. There were lines for the Navy flight simulator and the Coal Mine but the wait was far too long for any of us to spend time waiting. We had an enjoyable time with Jeff's brother and family at the museum. Upon leaving we headed for Kenosha, Wisconsin which I shall write about tomorrow.
