Scrapperie Question Of The Day

If you could have a weekend to spend however you wanted (money is no concern) what would you want to do? Where? With Whom? and Why?

Well, my family is going to Chicago this weekend. Our original plans were to go to the Brookfield Zoo which we have already been to once two years ago. We also wanted to go to the Field Museum and see the African man eating lions--you know the ones that were in the movie "Ghost in the Darkness" with Val Kilmer (great movie and true story!). When I started checking around on the internet for prices, I saw all these other great things there are to do in Chicago. I think we would also like to go the the Science and Industry Museum and I would LOVE to go to the Shedd Aquairium! But, man is everything expensive! I want to do it all! BUT, we can't afford to. So we are stuck making some tough desicions this week. The zoo is a definite go, and I think we will do just one of the others but I am really torn between the Field Museum and the aquarium! I'd also like to be able to eat at some really good restaurants and not have to worry about how much it is going to cost...I wonder how many times we will be eating at McD's! LOL! So my weekend spent how I want it would be--for now--just to be able to go to Chicago and see it all! (the planetarium, Field Museum, observatory, aquarium, S&I Museum, Art Museum and shopping!) with my family and eat at the best restaurants not having to worry about spending too much! That's what I want for now, don't want to think too far ahead!
Anywhoooooo, Friday night before we leave we are going to rent "Night at the Museum" which everyone but me has already seen. Will be a fun start to our weekend! I better get busy doing the laundry so I'm not trying to get it all washed at the last minute while we are trying to pack! I always do that!
