Christmas in Chicago, 2012

Every year we try to take a trip to a city for Christmas, usually Chicago.  This year we spent the morning at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.  It was our first trip there, and we were very impressed.  They had a great exhibit of Christmas trees from around the world, and a special Charlie Brown exhibit!  And the surprising hit of the trip was the German U-boat they have there.  We'll definitely be going back.



We followed that with a trip to visit Santa at Bloomingdale's on Michigan Avenue.  This is the third year that we've managed to find the big guy there, and he was worth the long wait in line.  Here the kids get their first glimpse:



Talking to the man himself!  Myla asked for real kitchen tools, and a Clarice lunch box.  Luke asked for race cars.  They very accurately reported that they'd been good that year.




That was fun!
