The weather has been pretty good and, if that continues, do an architectural tour by boat, on the river. The Museum of Contemporary Art is a good half-day visit if you like modern, otherwise the Art Institute is a more complete collection (and an interesting building). I agree the Shedd and the Museum of Science and Industry are worthwhile. The view from the Hancock Observatory at sunset is amazing. You can run for quite a ways along the lake. With the weather getting nice, that's likely to be crowded. Grant Park has many interesting things to see. Lincoln Park is very nice, especially the conservatory. Of course, if you really want an interesting trip, hop on the Amtrak Hiawatha and come on up to Milwaukee. Unfortunately, I'm leaving town in a couple of days so won't be able to host you. Waterford is a relatively easy drive (around an hour and a half, maybe a bit more) from Chicago. If you can get there, it's worth a visit, but unfortunately it's not accessible by train. If you were to bring a bike, it would be a pretty easy combo train/bike trip. Ted Durant -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
