For the first time in a while, we had a whole Saturday free of commitments and obligations! Ed and I decided to take the girls downtown to the Field Museum. There is a traveling exhibit of China’s First Emperor and His Terracotta Warriors. Lily had seen the exhibit during a school field trip, and we wanted to see it before it leaves Chicago in January. Winter showed up today with snow flurries this morning, high winds and temperatures in the 30’s, so it was a good day to explore the museum!
On the way home, we had to drive by Addison and Clark, even though not much is going on at Wrigley Field right now except for some construction.
The best way to spend a not so nice day: inside. I would love to see those terracotta warriors some day. They were in the Netherlands a few years ago, but I never got around to seeing them. I wonder whether they will come to Norway at some point. With my luck, they’ve already been!

It was a very neat exhibit, and hard to believe that the tomb had been forgotten about by history! It was such an immense undertaking. I hope you do get to see the exhibit some day. It was really neat!
What fun to see such a great exhibit!
Ed is a total warrior!
I think playing tourist is such fun. We had an extra week last summer and decided to do local things we’d never done – like the Basketball Hall of Fame, and a local children’s museum.
