I know I am
not the only one looking forward to spring.
But for those of us that are not heading to a warm climate this month,
there are some cities that offer year round fun. Chicago is one of my favorite places to visit. The city offers something for everyone.
It is close enough to home that you don’t have
to fly. By car it will take you about 4 ½
hours from the Detroit area. You can
also take a train into the city from several surrounding areas.
So what are
the main attractions? If you enjoy
history, science, or art, Chicago has a number of places for you. Shedds Aquarium, Museum of Science and Industry, and Adler Planetarium to name a few,
will keep you and your family busy for the better part of a day. Each of these museums is distinct and will
keep you wanting more.
Another
favorite place to visit is the Navy Pier. This attraction is most popular in the
summer. Offering unique places to dine, and boat tours that will take you
around the city, as well as the Chicago cityscape from Lake Michigan.
Speaking of
Michigan, one of my favorite areas in downtown Chicago is the Magnificent Mile. Located on
Michigan Avenue, this area boasts amazing shopping, some of the best restaurants
in the country, and skyscraper hotels.
Below are
just a few of my favorite spots within the windy city:
