traveling to chicago with a child?

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

i am bringing my three year old daughter and four year old niece to visit shedd aquarium, but i don’t know about transportation. I can’t decide if its better to get a hotel near the airport and try to take public transportation to the aquarium, or find a hotel near the navy pier, and use a hotel shuttle to/from the airport which would cost $20 per person each way? I would prefer to save some money, but i am not sure how difficult it will be trying to figure out the trains/buses with two little girls. any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
i can fly into either airport. I can’t find a hotel that has complimentary shuttle service and is located near the aquarium. There are a few that are near either airport. maybe i should just stay home and rent finding nemo and call it a day?

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

I had to be when I was a child and my mother I was traveling from Missisissippi to Chicago the bus was crowded and I had to sit on her lap( I was a mama’s baby anyway) I set in her lap most of the way she was holding me and I felt so safe warm because it was scary at first( I was about 8) when a seat in front of us became free she ask if I wanted to sit in the seat I started crying and said no( I guess I thougth if I fell asleep she’d disappear) anyway that was the saftest I ever felt.

I still feel safe when Im around my mom. When we havea familt get together and I get there before her I almost want to cry, when she comes Im like a child being picked up from shcool, Im so gald to see her.

And I’m 41
