Even though we went to bed quite late Saturday night, Juma woke up at 7am. Of course. We just chilled for 3 hours, telling Juma every 2 minutes to keep his voice down until Justin's brother Cameron woke up at 10 o'clock. By noon, we'd made it into the city. "On the blue line" metro, as Juma would tell you.

After lunch, we visited the Art Institute of Chicago. There, we saw paintings by Seurat, Picasso, and van Gogh, among other amazing things. From there, we walked through Millenium Park, then on to Navy Pier, where Juma refused to ride the ferris wheel. Next, the grown-ups had just as much fun in the Children's Museum as Juma did.





After leaving the museum, and watching a clown/pirate/ juggler/comedian for too long, we set out to look for dinner, but a sudden downpour of rain kept us from going two feet out the door. A Bubba Gump Shrimp, Co restaurant happened to be right there, so we enjoyed shrimp, steak, fish, and dessert. As Juma described the apple crisp, "You should definitely try this crust, it is definitely so, so good. Mmm, mmm."

We had planned to drive on to Omaha today, but since there's so much to do in Chicago, we decided to stay an extra day. We've bought tickets to the evening's White Sox/Yankees game, but weather.com promised rain.
