Today Zachary and I braved the Chicago traffic and headed downtown. Krista, Dane's sister (who lives downtown), joined us as we took advantage of a discount day at the Shedd Aquarium where general admission was free! To avoid the $15 museum parking fee we were so proud of ourselves for paying only $1 at some meter parking right in front of the museum!
Zachary LOVED the aquarium!!

It was so cute to hear the parade of kids who were so excited to see Nemo!
