Last night I got back from a four day trip to Chicago. It was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. I went to see my friend, April. I visited her back in 2010, and we did a lot of the famous touristy things that there are to do in that great city. This time, we just used our time together as a way to do things that we might not get to do with other people.
If you are interested in visiting Chicago and looking for places to stay, you have a few different options. If you are looking for a more luxury high-end experience in a hotel, trip advisor offers great deals and reviews to help make your decisions.
Larger groups may want to consider renting a home in Chicago. Renting a home, although a bit more expensive upfront tends to be more cost effective when splitting with groups of 5 or more, especially if you plan on staying for a few days.
I have a lot of things to say about this trip, and some things will get their own post later, but for right now I wanted to share some of the miscellaneous photos that I enjoy so very much.
