Day 18

At ECS,  Keith's school, the 7th grade classes traditionally took a train trip to Chicago as part of their science studies.  I had the pleasure of going with Keith on that trip.  We rode the train over night and arrived in Chicago the next morning ready to begin our museum tours.  We saw the Aquarium, History Museum, Science and Industry Museum as well as other sights in Chicago.

The train ride to Chicago

We stayed in a high rise hotel which included an indoor pool.  Keith had a good time with every part of the trip.  The best part was that it snowed while we were there.  Their science teacher worked a deal with the hotel and they allowed the students to go to the roof top and have a good old fashioned snow ball fight.  I think they really enjoyed that part the best.  Me....I just stayed bundled up and made some pictures.  

Check out that black fanny pack.....thank goodness it was water repellent!
