I mentioned in my last post that I have been a little stir crazy and really ready for an adventure. Well I finally got Brad on board with me and we are going to Chicago! Woohoo! I am so excited. We are going out the first week in July which means we will be there for the 4th of July! So we have a little while before we go but it is something that we are both looking forward to for sure! Brad is a huge Cubs fan and it worked out perfect because they are playing at home the whole time we are there! Brad is going to be like a little kid there- I am so excited for that! So if any of you have been there before we are definitely looking for suggestions for things to do, places to eat!
Here are some things we are looking forward to most:

Hey Darci, it's Kara. I have a friend from Chicago and I asked her if she'd blog a comment about places to see there. Don't be alarmed if you get a comment from the Strom's. Have fun on that trip!
hey! chicago is fun!
when i was there, we did a cool river cruise, too, that went out onto lake michigan.
p.s. -- i love the picture you have at the top of your blog now. so cute!
Oh how fun! I am a little stir crazy too. What a fun idea to go there over the 4th of July! How lucky are you guys to have the cubs at home that whole week.
CHICAGO! A little bit further east my dear, that's where you need to be. H&M is in Poughkeepsie silly!
No, really that sounds like it will be fun!
We're excited for you guys. Just make sure you say hi to Chicago for me. Someday we'll get back there....! Love you. Mom
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad you got him excited about it. You will have so much fun! But you seem to do that anywhere you are :D
Yay!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and I love your new pic at the top :D
Hi there! I just read Kara's comment, so it looks like she gave you a head's up I might be writing. My name is Kerry and I grew up in Chicago. My family has been there for 28 years and I go back there to visit at least 2-3 times a year. Chicago is a GREAT city and you are going during a great time! To really do Chicago right, you want to go in the summer when the weather is nice. I too am a huge Cubs fan! I would just recommend getting your tickets as soon as possible, because they sell out fast. Also, take "The L" (short for elevated train) to Wrigley. It's cheap and drops you right off at the park, whereas parking is a complete nightmare and brutally expensive. As for places to eat, you almost can't go wrong. Portillos Hot Dogs, Giordanos Pizza, Grand Lux Cafe are just a few that come to mind. If you have a specific kind of food you're looking for, let me know and I can get more specific. Bring your running shoes/roller blades and go along Lake Shore Drive. It's beautiful! Also, aside from the Museum of Science and Industry which you mentioned, there are several awesome museums all clustered together: Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium and the Field Museum, all of which are fabulous. Close by to those is Navy Pier. This is where all the ships dock and there are some great boat rides you can do for reasonable prices. The world-famous Art Institute of Chicago is on Michigan Avenue and aside from Watertower place, there is great shopping on both State street and Michigan Ave. And over the 4th of July is also when they do "Taste of Chicago" where hundreds of restaurants are represented and also free concerts downtown. Hope that gets you started. Have a great time!
Oh how fun! You guys are going to have a blast. Chicago sounds like a great place to visit. I am too scared to even leave Utah with Kylie. Hey I collect thimbles, would you mind getting me one? I can give you money before you leave. Have lots of fun!
I have done it all I love it!!! i can tell you all the fun things to do. YOu will ove it I am a bit jealous I want to go back.
I'm so jealous! I love the idea of a get-away! I think everyone is a bit stir-crazy right now! I love that new picture!
hey Darci! This is Stephanie(Salter) Burt. I saw your blog deal from Melissa's blog and I was wondering if you are cool if I add you to my list so I can check out what you are up to.
