Birthday weekend continued...

On Saturday Dan and I headed to the train to spend the day at Sheds Aquarium in Chicago. We left a little later then we wanted because the train station was not well marked so we missed the earlier train that we were hoping to keep. But we caught the next train and enjoyed reading on our ride into the city.

 Once we got into the Aquarium we grabbed some lunch and enjoyed sitting outside while we waited. The weather was perfect and it was hard to believe it was October. It did start raining while we were inside and had to catch our bus and walk through the down pour to get back to our train...we were drenched.



Here are some pictures from the Aquarium...they had really good exhibits and we had a great time exploring and seeing everything they had.

 They had really cool aquariums that I got some pictures of:

 We then met up with a friend from college and had dinner with her and her husband. We spent the night at their house and enjoyed hanging out the rest of the evening. On Sunday we went to church, ate lunch, and then packed up to head home. It was a very fun weekend and felt very restful.
