Daycation
Hello everyone! Last week was Tyler's Fall Break. He had lots of studying but we decided to dedicate one day to getting out of the city and enjoying ourselves. Welcome to our Daycation destination...Lake Geneva. This is a cute, little town just across the Wisconsin border. Some have called it the Hamptons for Chicago.
For a town of only 7000 people, it had quite the amenities. It boasts both a Walmart and Target, not to mention a couple of the largest coffee shops we've ever seen. This is the expansive Starbucks. They also had a spacious Caribou Coffee on the other end of the business district.

Day at the Museum
Last week was Tyler's fall break so we decided to take advantage of the extra family time and visit the Museum of Science and Industry.
Lego versions of the world's tallest buildings make Tyler and apparently Addilyn quite happy.
Addilyn and Tyler explored the Idea Factory where there were lots of different experiments to explain science concepts to kids Addilyn's age up to 10.
She had lots of fun playing with these balls and came out very wet and very happy.
Addilyn working the gears on this conveyor belt. So fun.
Snack time.
Addilyn showing off her new shoes. She thinks they're pretty cool.
Addilyn thoroughly enjoyed these phones. When we left this exhibit, she had to say goodbye to each of them.

Peaceful Walk
Saturday was a fairly lazy day. We decided to enjoy the beautiful fall weather and go for another one of our City Walks. This one was in Wilmette, a very weathy and extremely quiet northern suburb. Here are the highlights:
This is the Baha'i temple in Wilmette. It is one of only 7 temples in the world for this faith and the only one in North America.

They started construction on the Chicago temple in 1920 and finished in 1952. It's made of a whole lot of white concrete. Check out that detail!
