Chicago Trip - Field Museum

Continuing from my Chicago Trip (not that I'm posting these in chronological order), I spent the one rainy day of the trip at the Field Museum! The main highlight was getting to see SUE, the Nonbinary T-Rex, but there was plenty of other neat things (particularly the meteorites!) that I really enjoyed. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I was pretty tired after a couple hours of slow walking.
