In matching owl jammies, mommy and I cuddled and watched the Royal wedding. Of course we needed to wear our princess crowns! We all loved Duchess Katherine's dress and the use of greenery in Westminster Abbey. Very beautiful!
Daddy and I spent all day Friday at the Science and Industry Museum. He describes it as "Disneyland for science geeks". I was just happy to be out playing around with daddy. Daddy was just giddy with all the exhibits and kept hugging me and saying how much fun he was having and how glad he was I was there. Cool, huh?
A few years ago, the museum built an enclosure for their U-505 submarine captured during World War II. It was VERY impressive!
The porthole makes a comfortable seat!
Not a bad place to sleep for someone my size. But the sailors on the sub were a bit bigger than me . . .
Let's see what's for dinner in the sub's galley!
After crawling around the sub, I had to get a snack. So I buried my face into a cupcake!
They have an airplane hanging in the main rotunda area. So we had a seat and pretended we were flying to Los Angeles. We were sitting in Sophie class, of course!
Finally, they have an exhibit exploring the movement of spheres in liquid and gas mediums. At least that how daddy described it. I just thought it was a fountain and a playground!
On Friday night, we went out to dinner with Dad-dad, mommy, and Uncle Steve. Here I am being escorted by my "entourage"
Ok- this is wicked cool. The Chicago Children's museum has a MASSIVE climbing gym that is made up like ship's rigging. It spans over three floors! No kidding! I have seen it before but I never had the courage to do it from the bottom (my first trip to the Children's museum is recorded here: http://sophiehouse.blogspot.com/2009/12/chicago-shopping-trip.html ). This time, I DID IT! I CLIMBED THE WHOLE THING! YAY! The following are a couple of photos of me in the rigging.
Thank you, mommy and daddy, for taking me to Chicago. When are we coming back?

My Kind of Town Chicago is - My Kind of Town Chicago is...
I think we need to teach you the words to this song and then on your next trip to Chicago you, Mommy and Daddy can sing it while dancing down Michigan Ave.
I also liked Princess Kate's dress.
