Spring Break 2013 Staycation

We were planning to go to the farm for spring break to explore the fishing.  But unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate.  It was going to be cold with snow.  So we decided to do a staycation.  The weather was pretty bad for us at home too.  But we did manage a couple outing.  We went out on a nice afternoon to the Brookfield Zoo.


Something clearly has the attention of these meerkats.


Penguins are always fun to see.


The family by the Andean Condor enclosure. 


The condor clear has a bigger wingspan than Diane.


Looks like Alex has the same wingspan as a Bald Eagle.


The boys had a lot of fun.


We had a great visit to the Zoo.


We also went to the Museum of Science and Industry.  Diane had fun with the big Tesla lightening ball.


I beat Diane in the mind relaxation game.  Took a Zen approach.


The exhibits are lots of fun.


Everyone had a great time.  Chicago is such a great city. Lots of convenient and fun things to do on a stay cation.
