We visit lots of different places in Chicago. We stay in various hotels, eat at all types of restaurants and visit tons of great stores throughout the city. Our goal is to visit a new place everytime we go out, not returning to the same restaurant or hotel. This allows us to give better reviews on this site as well as expose our children to different places.

On a visit to The Marriott Magnificant Mile we were happily surprised to find a City Guides for kids in our room. What a fun way for kids to enjoy the Windy City, working their way thru the alphabet. The guides are written by a family that travels alot and realized that most travel guides are geared towards adults and not children.
