Lincoln Park Zoo, Magnificent Mile, Thai Food, Jazz Concert

I woke up early today. George went to drop the van at the airport and I get the kids ready for touring. We left the hotel around 9 am. George forgot his hotel key card so I took it and gave him at CTA. 

George went back to the hotel, I and the kids went to the zoo. I was the leader today hahaha. 

We get off from CTA and took the bus. I should have got off on the different station. We had to walk a little longer haha. We took bus 151 to the zoo with no problem. The zoo is under construction. We had to get in at the different gate. We saw the Spring Flower Show so we went inside. It's very hot and beautiful. We ate some snack and ice-cream and we walked around together to see animals. Top three of animals today are 1.Polar Bear 2.Meerkat 3.Cockroach. Hahaha we spent 20 mins taking photo with Polar Bear in the background playing in the water. 









We ate quesadilla for lunch. It was too big for most of the kids. They didn't finish it. We were late so we ate it as quick as we can. I didn't remember how to get to the same gate we got in. We walked around the zoo a couple time and asked two guys who sell popcorn and hot dog but they point to different direction! 

Finally we found people who wear zoo shirt. They must work there. We all ran to them and asked for Rino cage. We saw Rino cage when we first came it. The zoo people took 3 minutes to understand the word 'rino'. It was so funny because all of us say it for a couple time. They gave us a map and direction. Finally we found the way out. The kids were tired hahahaha. We had to run because we wanted to be at the Loop as soon as possible. We saw the bus151 but we couldn't catch it. We had to wait for another 5 minutes. 

We got off at Magnificent Mile. It's shopping street that we visited last year. George met us at Disney's shop. He scold me for being late and didn't call. But I was really busy! Haha

We walked and shopped for 2 hours. And we had a nice dinner at Thai restaurant. All are Thai staffs. The owner has living in America for more than 40 years. He seems happy to see us. The kids ordered KhaiJeaw, Padkapao, Padthai. George ordered Mussamun, Labmoo. We ordered a little bit too much because we couldn't finish Padkapao.




I like their Padthai most. I didn't expect this good but it's really good. Best Padthai in USA so far. 
We went to watch Jazz concert after dinner. I felt sleepy. Some of the kids felt it too. We're too full. We watched it for hour and we went back to the hotel.

We packed and weight all the bags. Tomorrow we're leaving from hotel at 8am. Our flight is around noon. Pheww I'm tired.
