Nala and the Shedd

On our last day in Chicago we went downtown with Jordan to see the Shedd Acquarium. We were able to park at Marin's condo and see Marin and Nala on our way back from the Shedd.

It was very hot outside, probably the warmest day of our trip. We didn't pre-purchase tickets to the Shedd because we didn't think it would be crowded on a Tuesday...boy were we wrong!! There was an incredibly long line at 11am on a Tuesday! The line probably took 90 minutes and was in 100% sun most of the time. While we were waiting we got hot dogs and took some photos.

The Shedd was pretty expensive, $26 for the least expensive ticket option. There were lots of fish, but we weren't all that impressed. It would definitely be a cool place to take little kids, and there were a lot of little kids there! I think the last time I was at the Shedd was probably in elementary school - not much has changed since then.

After spending a couple of hours at the Shedd we walked back to Marin's and were able to spend some time with her and Nala. On our way back we walked through Grant Park - we had to take a pic!

I am in LOVE with Nala!! She is the cutest little lab puppy ever! Here are some photos of Nala and a link to a video of her playing with her neighbor dog.

We stopped at Lou Malnati's for some Chicago pizza on our way back to the airport. I was sad to go back to Florida, especially since I don't know when I'm going to go back up next! Hopefully it will be soon!
