JELLIES!

Sister Kim came to visit this weekend :) 

We had lots of fun. We went to see a movie in the fun theater where you can eat dinner while you take in the show (so cool!), did a little random Target perusing (which if you didn't know, is probably our favorite past time. She bought luggage, I bought a lawn chair. Random? Yes.), went for a nice long walk on the path near our house, and finished the night off with a stroll through Meijer and some fabulous Oberweis ice cream.

That was all yesterday.  Phew! Busy day.

Today we decided to take it easy. So what did we do?? We went to Shedd's Aquarium, obviously! It was quite hot out, so we didn't really feel like roasting and walking around downtown all day. So we opted for a fun indoor activity. And it did not disappoint :) 

Kim and I outside Shedd's on their terrace. 

(It was really bright and I forgot my sunglasses...so I look really weird in this picture!)

The main attraction for the day was the Jellies Exhibit. It's only here for a limited time, and I highly recommend going to see it. It's soo cool. I've always been fascinated by Jelly Fish...and this only made me even more intrigued. Soo amazing. 

Here's some pictures...but really...come check it out for yourself!

       

Pretty amazing, right??

Before we left we decided to browse the gift shop...where we both bought some cool souvenirs :) Can't pass up 2 for $30 t-shirts! Kim also got a cute coffee cup and I got a penguin satchel/wallet thing. Adorbs. 

After a fun-filled day, sadly it was time to head back over to the train station to deposit Kim :( We took a little detour and rode down Lake Shore Drive so she could see Navy Pier and the beach...and then the navigation on my phone took us on a crazy route back to Union Station. Seriously. At one point we were underground on Wacker...which was under construction, and I'm pretty sure we weren't supposed to be where we were. And it didn't want to let us out. We were convinced we were going to die there. So creepy!! Finally we made it where we needed to be, dropped her off, and thankfully, I had a much less uneventful drive home.

But now I can say that I have driven downtown...and minus that little snafu...it was fine. Phew. But I told Josh never again. Ever. Next time I don't care how much 'work' he has to do, he is being our chauffeur :)

All in all we had a great weekend. And I guess that's good, because she might be moving to Cali soon and I probably won't see her for awhile :( 

Welp, time for bed folks. This weekend pooped me out! :)
