No trip would be complete without a hot dog from the ONLY hot dog stand worth visiting.
Lillian loved her first Gene and Jude's hotdog.
But she preferred it without the bun.
It was the perfect late night snack at our hotel before heading to bed.
Saturday morning began with a trip to the hotel pool and then lunch with family: Aunt Nancy, Aunt Susie, and cousin Nicole. Then it was on to the Science and Industry Museum downtown.
Lillian enjoyed the baby scape area where she climbed through the blue tube...
and captained her first ship (just like Grampie)
Madison and Nicole enjoyed testing the different experiments (using water to keep a ball floating)
Cranking a conveyor belt to move the shape blocks through the machine.
We left the Kid Zone and headed to space an the other museum exhibits, where Madison documented her first trip the moon
and enjoyed a bit of clowning around with her cousin.
The highlight of the museum visit was the Harry Potter exhibition. Madison could hardly contain her excitement as we waited in line for our tickets before she raced to see the real Harry Potter car. The exhibit was VERY expensive but really cool to see.
Our favorite part was waiting for our designated time (4:53pm) and answering the Harry Potter trivia questions.
The exhibit was filled with props and costumes from the Harry Potter movies, as well as, Hagrids hut and a few replica figures of Dobby the house elf, Buckbeak the Hippogriff and a Dementor.
After the museum we piled back into Nana's Rav4 and headed to Applebees for dinner together.
Aunt Marge (next to Lillian) was also able to join us for dinner.
Sunday morning the girls went swimming with Nana and then we headed for Omi and Opi's. We celebrated Opi's birthday at our favorite greek restaurant, Connie's before heading back to Indiana.
It was a lovely visit with family.
