Chicago: Day 4

Michigan Ave Apple Store... Navy Pier... Field Museum... Museum of Science & Industry. Quick shot over to the airport, bumped to next flight. Words of wisdom for the econo traveler: fly back Saturday so that when the airline offers to give you that free flight anywhere in the US for taking a flight the next day you can take the offer without worrying about work/school on Monday. Summer flight out west? Done.

Picture of front entrance of the Museum of Science and Industry.Museum of Science & Industry: If you ever find yourself in Chicago you need to see this place. One of the top 7th most visited museums in the US and the oldest museum of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. This is not your father's museum, but an interactive extravaganza covering everything from biology to aviation to chemistry to submarines, cars, ships, computers. You name it, they've got it. Pictures don't do it justice. It's downright massive. Plan on a minimum of 3 hours to walk it, 5 to truly appreciate.
