Chicago with Lucie--Day 1

Lucie came to visit me for a week in Chicago.  She is heading back to France in a little while.  She has been such a great friend, and I'm so glad we had a chance to spend time together before she heads back to teach in France.  The weather wasn't exactly cooperative, but we did have a little bit of good weather and a fun time despite the weather complications. Our first night after I picked her up from the airport, there were tornado warnings, so we stayed inside instead of going to an outdoor adventure.  Then, with rain and thunderstorms threatening, we went to the Museum of Science and Industry on Wednesday.  I called probably 20 different library branches trying to find  passes to any of the museums.  I finally was able to find a pass to the Art Institute, but it was at a branch in south Chicago, so instead of going that day, we went and checked out the card, then decided to go to the Museum of Science and Industry since we were already down there.  We spent the entire day at the museum and still didn't see everything thoroughly.  I think this is my favorite museum in Chicago.
