If you're visiting Chicago, we have tons of suggestions of how to spend your visit. We lived downtown and taught ourselves what's worth it (Architecture tour!) and what wasn't (Navy Pier). If you come in the summer, bring a swimsuit--there's beach for miles and Lake Michigan touches the city. If you come in the winter, bring a scarf and a down jacket--the cold will chew your face off. Email or comment if you want to hear more!
