We had a great family vacation in Chicago. We stayed at the Palmer House Hotel, with the famous Empire Room - a place where people such as Frank Sinatra and Sonny and Cher performed, among multiple others. We visited the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum, The Chicago Institute of Art, the Lincoln Park Zoo, and we saw the Blue Man Group show. We also, of course, went out for deep-dish pizza at Giordano's and Molinari's. Chicago is a beautiful city, especially (surprisingly) downtown. Even the skyscrapers are beautiful, and I don't think that is something I have ever said before. There are amazing and well-maintained green spaces everywhere. The architecture is gorgeous. There is tons of culture. It's a healthy city, too, which I love. There are runners everywhere and great places to run (waterfront trails and so on). There is delicious healthy food easily available. Sign me up!
