This past Thursday Adam and I headed to Chicago to visit family. My entire extended family lives in Northwest Indiana, super close to Chicago, and we hadn’t visited together since March 2013. We spent all of Thursday with family in Indiana, but were able to go to Chicago Friday and Saturday. I love Chicago and it has been a second home for me most of my life. I have visited many times and always enjoy it. Adam has only ever been once, so I was excited to bring him back for a little getaway.
After lunch, it was time to head back to Indiana to be with family. We only had about 27 hours in Chicago this time, but we had a blast! We didn’t have time to do everything we love, so here’s a quick list of some of our favorite restaurants, coffee shops, and things to do for anyone considering checking out Chicago in the future!
Restaurants: Wildberry Pancakes, The Bongo Room, M Burger, RPM Italian, Lou Malnatis, Xoco, Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak, & Stone Crab, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream
Coffee Shops: Intelligentsia, Hero Coffee Bar, Dollop Coffee, The Wormhole
Things to Do + See: The Bean/Millennium Park, Navy Pier, Walking down Michigan Ave, Lakefront Trail, Water Tower Place, All of the museums, Buckingham Fountain, Cubs Game
Always so informative and fun to read!!!
