We heard this expression about a hundred times on our road trip to Chicago from the kid's. It was a looooooooong car ride, but definitely worth the time! We had the opportunity to spend a long weekend visiting my sister, who moved to Chicago this past June. She lives just a few miles north of downtown Chicago, and it was an exciting time to be able to spend with her. The city of Chicago has some absolutely beautiful sights to see. It was very unique to see Lake Michigan amidst a stunning background of city skyscraper's. We had a jammed packed, fun-filled weekend filled with lots of sightseeing. Al tho, we each had our own favorite place, we all agreed that Chicago is a breath taking city to visit. Here is a list of our family's favorite's.......
Mark...China Town, just located south of the city, has a diverse culture. He enjoyed his new found Chinese restaurant, Joy Lee Noodle. He says it even tops Dragon House. He even enjoyed perusing through the Chinese flee market.
Stacy...The Sear's Tower Sky Deck, located in the heart of downtown Chicago. It was a magnificent sight to see the entire city, and a breath taking view of Lake Michigan. I got to see all of Chicago in just moments!
Calli...The American Girl Place, located in downtown Chicago. This has been a dream for Calli! She absolutely LOVES her American Doll, and what a chance to shop in a store that has it all. She saved her money for several months to have a shopping spree of her life. She purchased a doll carrier, outfit, and accessories.
Caden..."I liked it all!" He had something exciting to tell about each adventure we took. Just a few of his top choices included playing, or should I say torturing Mandy's cats, being by the water, riding the "L" and trolley, rides at Navy Pier, and the John Deere Farm at Lincoln Park Zoo (where he made several purchases from his hard earned money).
