Visting Chicago
Chicago is a city where I fell in love in more ways than one. I spent some of the most interesting and unforgettable few weeks I’ve had in my life visiting Chicago and saying yes to new experiences in the Windy City. The beginnings of an epic romance, the lasting memories of a laughing nephew, a smiling sister, new friends and old, exquisite food, and culinary adventures. A time not soon to be forgotten.
Waltzes in fountains during rain storms, dodging lightning under the Bean, 5-star meals, drinks in tiki heads, unexpected ER visits, days I shopped till I dropped. Rooftop sunsets, running along the water, laughing so hard I cried. Speakeasies & supper clubs, cooking classes, and comedy clubs. A place where you won’t soon get bored; and where you can find new adventures around every turn.
Visiting Chicago can be an absolutely life-changing experience when you know what to do and which parts of the city to explore. I’m sharing a few ideas on things you can do while visiting Chicago below!
