Hyde Park and Seek: Photographic Proof That I Went to the University of Chicago (at least for a day as a tourist)

I had a very nice day yesterday with my mom in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, home to the University of Chicago.

Below is a photo recap, covering:

• Robie House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright - We took a tour but interior photos were not allowed
• Rockefeller Chapel
• Oriental Institute Museum
• Smart Museum of Art
• Various sights around campus, including Henry Moore's Nuclear Energy sculpture

Who knew I was a god? Of course, my artifact was among the smallest in the museum.
