A new day with new discoveries!

Day 2 of sightseeing began with me missing the Metra to the Museum of
Science and Industry. Guess I didn't do enough research as to train
times. Oh well...I hopped in a cap and got there about 20 minutes
before it opened. I figured quite a few of the people would check out
things on the main floor so I made my way to the top. Man, this place
is awesome! So much to see and very interactive! If I hadn't planned
on doing other things today this place could easily have been an all
day event! I went to one of the Omnimax shows: Ultimate Wave Tahiti.
It goes with surfer Kelly Slater as he surfs and how waves are
created. It was pretty awesome, but I of course got motion sick.
Everything was too close up and the camera was very unsteady which
made it worse. So I shut my eyes and just listened to the sounds for
part of it.

I had spent about an hour and a half at MSI and decided to leave. Of
course I hadn't seen about half the attractions, but I'm ok with
that. Oh, cute factor: I was trying to find my way out and somehow
ended up in farmville (exhibit, not FB application) and I overheard a
dad say to his little boy "look there's the tractor!" The little boy,
prolly about 2 or younger, immediately started running towards it with
a happy face yelling "YAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!" He was so adorable!

My next stop is Wrigley Field which is nowhere near MSI. So I hopped
on a bus and now on the El heading that direction. More later!
