Jamie and I headed to Grant Park

at Buckingham Fountain.  A tourist on a Segway took this one.  Very nice man.

Did I say I loved the Field Museum?  I did.  And I missed a good 1/4 - 1/3rd of it.

Two classic girls.  Jamie and Sue the T-Rex.  Sue is a 90% complete T-Rex fossil.  Amazing.

the bones of the triceratops.  I always liked the look of this one.
