Yesterday, we took the boys to Chicago to Shedd Aquarium. First, let me say we were not the only people to say, "Let's go to Shedd's since we both have Good Friday off." Obviously the people who got there before us, who didn't have to stand shivering as the wind whipped off the lake for 30 minutes, had that thought too. Ah, how we looked at them with envy as they pushed their strollers away from the aquarium while we froze.
After thawing out once we got inside, we saw everything and the boys had a good time. They especially liked the 4D movie complete with shaking chairs, real bubbles, and squirting water. When we left, we felt triumphant that we'd gotten there before the mass of people who were waiting to get in. They were telling the people at the end it would be at least 90 minutes before they got inside. Crazy! And we did catch the jealous stares of a few desperate parents who wished they could be in our shoes and leaving instead of waiting in line. To leave would be to admit defeat, and they were some brave people to wait that long.
