shedd aquarium: So my hubby has an entire month off every year and we take a trip as a family to some place that interests us, with help from our tax refund. This year we are headed to Chicago for the following: Shedd Aquarium Observatory and Planetarium Lincoln park zoo Chicago Children's museum Field Museum Mueseum of Science and Industry Thats all we are aware of so far but we are keeping an eye out for anything else we might be able to find out about and go experience. So anyone who has been there/or lives in the Chicago area have anything to add to our list? :D My husband is off from the middle of March until April 18th and we'll be going closer to the end of March/mid-ish April to try and get the mildest weather.(We're thinking we want to be home for our daughter's 3rd birthday on April 13th) We are currently trying to find the best deal on a decent yet inexpensive hotel with out parking fees. I'd love to find one with a pool to take my little one swimming before bed to get some energy out :) I'd also love any trip/travel tips and ideas if anyone has info to share! I'm sure the car ride and all the driving will be a little tough on my little girl. Thanks in advance!|||Brookfield Zoo, Chicago History Museum, for hotels, try the Westin, get some Lou Malnati's Pizza, Maxwell St. polish, Wiener's Circle for Chicago Style Hot Dogs, Mr. Beef on Orleans for one of the best Italian Beef sandwiches you have ever tasted.
