Day 3 in wonderful vibrant Chicago

Day 3 started off late, it was already hot outside and the boys and I did not feel like spending a lot of time in the streets. So we headed to the Museum of Contemporary Art. We had great discussions about art and journalism. We enjoyed work by the Propeller Group,  learned about the Pulitzer Prize awardee Kevin Carter and discussed the work of Kerry James Marshell. Very stimulating.

On the way back to the hotel we stopped at the Watertower, where a small informative exhibition about the card game Cards Against Humanity was displayed. Besides creating a hilarious card game, the group also founded a non-profit to provide scholarships to women who want to proceed a scientific career, fully funded by the profits they make from their scientific extension pack. I just love it!

In the evening the best husband joined us again and we finally made it to the Hancock tower, on its 94th story, you have a nice 360 degree view onto Chicago with a visibility of up to 50 mile on a good day.  After that we moved quickly down Michigan Ave to Millennium Park. First of all F hadn't seen it yet and second in the summer they have free concerts there. We enjoyed a Charlie Chaplin movie accompanied by the Grant Park Orchestra. Listening to the music family had a wonderful picknick right there in the park.
