On Tuesday, we started off the day by visiting the Lincoln Park Zoo. It takes about 45 minutes to get into the city, so we didn't arrive there until late morning. The zoo has free admission, but you have to pay for parking, which is kind of backwards, to me. It wasn't a large zoo, but we got to see plenty of animals. Next, we headed to Michigan Avenue where there are tons of stores down several city blocks. Brielle really wanted to go to the American Girl Doll store, where she purchased a cute swimming outfit for her doll. That store had two floors and a place you can even get your doll's ears pierced! We browsed through other stores after that until we got hungry for dinner. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe since we don't have one at home and the girls loved it! They each bought a stuffed animal from their gift shop to add to their collection. We also visited the Rock N Roll McDonald's. It had 2 floors and a bunch of memorabilia from McDonald's throughout the years. Before we headed back to the hotel, we went to the top of the Hancock Observatory. It looked so cool at night! It is the 4th tallest building in Chicago--over 100 stories! It was a very fun day and pretty exhausting!
