We took a while to get up and moving this morning as we were all tired from the long drive. Our stomachs were empty and we craved doughnuts. We headed into Deerfield and found ourselves at the Deerfield Bakery, an Italian family owned bakery, and make our picks. Long johns, custard filled pastries, cinnamon rolls, and cheese croissant. The five of us stepped outside to eat our treats.
It was time to hit the city. As we prepared back at the house, we got information about which train stop to go to and when the train would come. We played games as we waited on the platform. When the train arrived at Union Station, we headed out toward Shedd Aquarium, where we looked at turtles and touched stingrays.

From the aquarium, we went on the hunt for food. We stumbled upon Fontano’s Subs. Audrey had a meatball sub while the rest of us had slices of pizza. After our meal, we went into Millennium Park to look at the fountains and The Bean. We had officially become touristy tourists with our pictures at The Bean.
Tomorrow, we plan on going to the Art Institute of Chicago for more touristy tourist adventures.
