It was an experience. We got all bundled up (since it was 30 degrees out) in a fleece, winter coat, gloves and a hat we walked ourselves to the train station. Miss M loves the train. She gets excited when they go by even though they are so loud. It's amazing the noise of the train doesn't bother her because Andrew and I usually plug our ears.
The train stations are really not set up for strollers. It can be challenging to find elevators and a lot of times it seems like elevators are out of commission. We survived. Miss M enjoyed the ride and was really good. It took about 30-40 minutes to get to the Art Institute via train. She was great for those 30-40 minutes but as soon as we got to the Art Institute she wanted out of her stroller. The Art Institute is not a place to let a year and a half old run around out of her stroller. The security people, who are everywhere, do not take kindly to food/drinks (which are necessary to the survival of a child when you're bribing them to stay in a stroller nor do they take kindly to Miss M trying to walk on the other side of the ropes which section off how close you can get to the art.
I am glad we were able to visit the Art Institute and take advantage of being close to a world famous collection of art but next time I will not be going with a child although I doubt I will go back. I don't have enough of an appreciation for art to want to go back.
We took advantage of being downtown and met Andrew for lunch. It is so fun to get to see him for lunch especially when Miss M sleeps in and he works late.
Here are the only pictures I was able to take of Miss M today. They really aren't exciting or great.
On train downtown.
