We had an exciting Spring Break this year. For years now, James has been bugging us to go to Chicago, even though he wasn’t really sure what it was other than the Cubs played there. So we decided to make a mini Spring Break vacation out of it this year. We started with a trip to the Shedd’s Aquarium which we had four passes to (which was a good thing because the line was huge). We had a fun time looking and exploring all the aquatic life and watching the aquatic show with the dolphins.
After leaving Shedd’s we traveled to Schaumburg where we had a late dinner at the RAM restaurant and checked into our hotel at the Hyatt Place. We were all quite tired and had no problems getting to bed! The next morning was our trip to Legoland Discovery Center. The kids love this place! Not only was there a lot to look at but also had a lot of hands on activities and even a couple of rides. James won a “build a musical instrument” competition with a lego trombone (of course) and Amanda and Alanna made racers for the race track. We watched a Lego 3D movie, saw how legos were made and played with a lot of bricks.
We also did some shopping at the IKEA and went to the Lego store, Apple Store and a few other places in the mall. On our way out we had Five Guys Burgers and Fries and stopped at a Trader Joes.
Overall we had some great family time and made some good memories together.
