Sometimes We Like to Play Tourists

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!

Ed fits in well with the warriors, don't you think?

We saw dinosaur bones, too!

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.
