{The Field Museum}

The next morning, we headed off to the museum district again to go to the Field Museum. When I went to Chicago back in high school we went to the Field Museum and I LOVED it. It was just as awesome this time around as well. So much to see and learn about. I love museums. 


Click on this picture and read about this old shark guy - crazy!








Meet my favorite dinosaur - Parasaurolophus.

Megan is a bajillion times better at making the duck lips than me....

Click on this and read it too, very interesting!





There was a special exhibit that our museum passes got us into - it was all about dirt and life in the dirt. It was kinda weird and dark and creepy - not worth the time, but here are some pictures from it.



There was also an exhibit about horses, and that was fascinating.

Aww! Little Monkeys.

Overall - 4 outta 5 stars. Great museum - lots to see and a lot of variety to their exhibits. It wasn't too crowded and we learned a lot of good stuff. Don't go to the dirt exhibit. This museum is definitely a must-see in Chicago.

  1. So jealous. Sue is like the most famous T-Rex in the world. And we also talked about the palmaris muscle in my anatomy class.
