Today we all started out feeling like we owned this city. On the bus, off to the Field Museum, one more of the world-class facilities in the great city. No sweat. Bus to the museum campus and out we go. The museum was a blast, and we had a great lunch in anticipation of a long afternoon of corn flake scooping.
And it was all good, until..the bus stop. There we were. At the stop. No bus. 10 minutes more, no bus. 5 minutes more, wrong bus. 15 minutes more, no bus. Late, later latest...until we started our search for the next viable bus stop or train platform. And after meeting a friendly bus driver and a helpful security guard, we got to the Food Depository just a little late. New friends met us there, and we quickly fell into line. But this time we were pros. We knew what was what and where to go and what to do. The girls confidence level was way up and they were really producing a lot of re-packed cornflakes.
When we finished, it was a train and bus to the Navy Pier for quick dinner at Harry Carry's and Alice in wonderland in 3D! Wow, that technology has really come a long way!

We're back to the "flakery" tomorrow to make the world a better place, one flake at a time. And then, we'll see what's up for the evening!
Check in tomorrow.
BTW: I think we were followed home by a couple of street dogs after they got the scent of cereal in our shoes...
Just when you think you have everything figured out...Glad to hear everything is going well. Chicago is a fantastic place to visit and the Field Museum is one of my favorites. Enjoy and thanks for all of your hard work at the "Flakery."
