    Woohoooo! So excited. We are moving from Alaska this summer back to the lower 48 so we are going to plan a trip to all of the museums. We are going to go during the timeframe that this exhibit is available! What a cool trip! If any of you go during this let us know, maybe we can meet and have lunch together!:D

    Oh that would be so neat, I think I went to that museum when I was a little kid. My kids LOVE star wars.

    We live only 50 miles from downtown Chicago, and we LOVE this museum. To really see all of it actually takes a couple of days! We make the trip every year. You'll love it.

    If you're in Chicago for a few days, consider getting their City Pass to the museums. Use this link for more info: http://www.citypass.com/city/chicago.html?id=CsranPcs

    This pass covers the Museum of Science & Industry, Field Museum (which has Sue the T. Rex), the Adler Planeterium (which has Jim Lovell's astronaut memorablia...Apollo 13), The Shedd Aquarium, and a ticket the the observation deck of the Hancock Building.

    We are actually going to do either a 4 or 5 day weekend. We are flying in from Georgia so want to make it well worth it. I recall it being really HUGE so want to take our time and see it all! We are going to do the whole tour of all of the grid.........definitely! That citypass looks great. Thinking we will just do the taxi thing also. Not used to traffic after living up here for so long!

    Great memories from my childhood! Hope he digs it as much as I did!:)
