Chicago Tourist Day

We decided to take a tourist day in Chicago and go to a couple of museums. We started with the Shedd Aquarium about 11 and were surprised when we departed at 3:30 so much for multiple museums. We still had a bit of time and took the water taxi to Navy Pier. We rode the Ferris Wheel over Navy Pier well worth doing, then on to supper at Margaritaville for a couple of Cheesebergers in Paradise. Soliders Field is right next to the marina and tonight the Bears are playing the Browns. A cab ride seemed impossible so we took the water taxi back to the Shed and walked with a bunch of Bear Fans headed for the game. A cold front is working into the area and the fog has started to obscure some of the buildings. The weather forecast states the temperature will drop 10-15 degrees in 10-15 minutes when the front arrives, maybe some showers. The last updated forecast was at 6:45 and the temperature was dropping quickly at 7:10, not sure if we call that a forecast or an observation.
