We started our first full day early so we could fit in as much as possible! There was a cute coffee shop I saw online that I was looking forward to trying called Hero Coffee so we stopped there first and it was...not great. I don't think anybody liked their drinks (Owen especially when he tried matcha for the first time!) and the bagels were just ok.
We kept walking until we got to the Field Museum and we had fun but were a little underwhelmed there as well! The architecture was amazing and it was neat to see Sue the T.Rex but more interactive exhibits would have been nice!
After the museum we walked back along the river and stopped at Cloudgate (The Bean!) for pictures and grabbed lunch before we headed over to our Architecture River Tour! This was actually one of our favorite things for the whole trip. We got a boat ride up and down the river while they told us all about the history of the city and the buildings we were passing.
We went to Portillo's for dinner and walked around a bit until it was time to check out Art on the Mart which was a digital art displayed on one of the buildings. It started out great and then we were all wondering how long we should stay...but still a cool idea! When we were walking back to the hotel Pat had his favorite moment when he saw some players from his favorite soccer team, Manchester United! He tried to get their attention but settled for taking a picture of them walking away!
