Winter Saturday = Museum Day. 

It's the best winter activity.

We are so lucky to live in a city with world-class museums. Seriously, Chicago museums are awesome!! Lucky for us, the Library has a Museum Pass program. It's first come first serve, and whatever passes are available, you can "check out" for one week. It gets two adults and two kids into the museum FOR FREE! Its amazing-- especially since admission is on average $18/person.

Art Institute from the South, in the winter.


Our first Saturday Museum Day was The Chicago Art Institute. This is an awesome Art Museum. Last time we went we saw all of the impressionist art, which is my favorite. So this time I let Ryan lead the way. Check out some of the highlights:

Giant paperweight. The designs inside it were awesome.

Cool statue.

another cool statue.

Awesome.

Contemporary Art-- remind you of somewhere? :)

Modern Art Wing.

Clouds, view from an airplane. So accurate!

The textiles were one of my favorites-- isn't this AMAZING?!
