Discover all Chicago has to offer....and it's far more than you imagined. This world class city has it all - beauty, food, entertainment and culture. Check it out for a wonderful time. I have included all the things I love about this great city. Although I moved away 9 years ago, my husband and I return every summer.

Catch this at Navy Pier. It will take you via a nice boat to the Adler Planatarium and The Shedd Aquarium. Then take the water taxi back to Navy Pier and take a stroll down the pier before heading in a normal taxi over to Grant Park. If there's a free concert stay for the evening. check out Millinium Park and the most beautiful Buckingham fountain.
