We were both up early as we had not been out the night before. This was our last day in Chicago and we wanted to fit in one more museum. It was cold, much colder than the two days before. After breakfast at the Weiner Circle we took the bus a few blocks up to the Chicago History Museum. We lucked out and not only was the entrance free, but there were dead presidents wandering around. I guess that it made sense, being Presidents Day and all.
The museum wasn't large but it was rather well done. The parts that I liked best were on the 1890's world fair. I just find it mind boggling that so many thing we have today, like cracker jacks and ferris wheels, were created for the fair. There was also a large display on President Lincoln, including the bed he died in. How creepy.
The last place I had wanted to have brunch at, Wishbone, was a bit out of the way and we didn't get there until after 3 pm. Next time I will be sure to arrive for brunch, that is much better than the rest of the menu.
At that point it was time to head to the airport. Our flight was a bit delayed, but nothing major. I felt very lucky that I had taken two trips to wintery areas and didn't get stuck in either of them. I really hope that I didn't use up all of my travel luck on this.
The next flight I will be on will take me not just to London, but also on the next great adventure of my life.
