Field Museum

In the biology class that Mike is taking, there is a lab that he has to do which involves going to the Field Museum. It is a nice idea to try to get people interested in history, science and such, but it is an expensive activity. I mean what isn't these days? I know they have their free days, but none on the weekends so it will be more expensive for Mike to take a day off from work to go in the free day. He was able to use his student ID for 3 dls off, our admission price was $41 dls (including the Aztec exhibition - which you have to pay extra to go see), our parking was $18 dls (for 5 hrs). If you stay up to 4 hrs is $15dls. We spent $15 dls for McDonalds (I found out later that you can take your lunch there). Six dollars, for a nice card and a maraca for Arianna. So, our visit was $80dls! I know I am missing something because before I came out with 90dls, anyway. How can a family of 4 or 5 or more do it? Yes, there is a family membership, but it does not include parking like the Museum of Science and Industry. So, it can get pricey just in parking. The museum is nice, but if we want families to go there and learn maybe it should be more affordable.
Anyway, the museum has beautiful exhibitions. Mike's favorites are in the evolving planet where they talked about primates and the dinosaurs. My favorites are the exhibition about the North American Birds and the beautiful gems!



Oh yeah, we also got into a small car accident to top our Saturday. It was very small and it is not noticeable, but we got a dent about the size of a small orange that needs to get fixed. It does not seem that affected the tire or the door, but we will have it check to make sure it was just the metal. It was not our fault, and we have the other person's info. At least, everyone is ok and the car is running ok as well.
Thanks to Ron and Dad Ron for fixing our garage door!
