To the Museum by Train
Sep. 8th, 2022 10:02 pmFor our final full day in Chicago, we decided to go to the Museum of Science and Industry. It has been many years since we visited there, and we could get there easily by train.

We spent most of the day at the museum, including having a light lunch we could eat outdoors safely, but around 3 PM we started making our way back to the hotel.

Returning to Millennium Station, we made one final stop at Bockwinkle's and headed to our hotel room to have some dinner from the remaining food we'd stocked up. There was still some time left to do something after we ate, and Lisa suggested that we might as well use those CTA tickets we bought by mistake.
( Out and Back on the Loop )
We walked back to the hotel for the last time. Earlier today, I was able to arrange for a 1 pm checkout on Friday. Our train back to Nevada is scheduled to depart at 2 PM Friday, so we should probably get out of the hotel about Noon. As we're in a bedroom, we'll be able to use the Metropolitan Lounge, which is probably the best place in the USA to wait for a train.
I may not do any updates on Friday and Saturday, as I won't have internet access most of that time. You can follow me on Twitter for occasional photos. Although considering how tired I am, maybe I'll just sleep my way back to Reno.
