Today we went to the Bongo Room for breakfast. Holy crap! Don't get the Chocolate Tower French Toast if you don't like messy dishes. This was pretty amazing, and like no French Toast I've ever had (although, admittedly, I'm not usually that adventurous with my breakfast food). They served a lot of food (there's a breakfast theme I'm starting to see here), and the place was pretty cool. We were happy there wasn't a long wait.
Next, we went down to the Museum Of Science and Industry. We paid extra for the CSI Experience and the U-Boat onboard tour. Both were a good idea. We also liked the Old Fashioned Town and the Space exhibits. This museum is a lot more fun than the Fields Museum, with which I was disappointed. The exhibit attached to the U-505 (they have the real uboat captured from the Germans in '42!) was simply spectacular.
When we were walking back after taking the 10 (bus) from the museum (heading to the Millenium Park), it started raining and lightning by the time we got to the Buckingham Fountain. We (and many others) sat under the extended roof of the restroom building. Fun, fun. Eventually, we stumbled our way to a local Dunkin' Donuts, got some coffee and donuts and waited out the storm. Mei didn't like this part of the trip; she got in a bad mood. The rain bugged her, and she started getting fussy about how dirty the subway was. Mei wasn't made for Subways. Overall, we were glad we picked the Bongo Room and the MSI. They were good choices. We're glad to be out of the rain, now, though.
