So breakfast at Ronny's again. It has become our 'spot' for breakfast. Since it was colder and rainy we decided a day indoors was warranted. The Field Museum won the honor and off we went. We circumvented the line by buying a membership which was cheaper than the day ticket since we were from out of town, plus it had free coat check, and a discount at the store. What a bargain! We saw Sue, the T. Rex and got pictures with her. We went to one of the special exhibits about the fury of nature and spent a lot of time looking at information about hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, etc. Some of the demonstrations were great. The 360 degree filming of a tornado passing through one spot was fascinating. I also liked the explanation of how hurricanes form in the Atlantic off the coast of Africa. We roamed around a bit more and then went back to Michigan Ave. for more shopping and a pre-dinner snack. Rusty bought the boots and matching bag Joyclyn wanted at Burberry and I took a picture of the bag Lisa wanted at Louis Vuitton.
