Out of town for a few days in Illinois

I'm in Lake Forest, Ill (near Chicago). We came to attend a nephew's graduation. Very nice college in a beautiful area.

Pity the weather is rainy and - they say - the temperature is 15 degrees below normal. I'm not so sure this is not typical Chicago spring weather. The ceremony was outdoors, so we spent three hours in 45-degree rainy weather. We had a blast (actually a blast of warm air would have been nice!).

Will spend a couple of extra days to visit the local museums and local cuisine which I know is great. Have not visited Chicago since 1982. That time (24 years ago) it was on a business trip to work in a booth at McCormick Place (the Convention Center) and it was February and the temperature was around 20 Fahrenheit, so I did not get to see much. We want to visit the Shedd aquarium and the Science and Industry Museum among other sites. I make a point of visiting the best Science and Industry museums of the world, which are among my favorite type of museum along with History, Aviation and Art museums. Will not have enough time to see all the other museums Chicago has to offer, so they will remain pending for another visit.
