Courtlin Needs More Suggestions for Her Birthday Weekend in Chicago
I have already made reservations/bought tickets for a few places, but I could definitely use a few more recommendations!
Every year for my birthday I like to take a little weekend trip, and this year I decided to stay pretty close to home. Tomorrow I leave for Chicago for the first time ever, and I am beyond excited. I've already had some friends and listeners suggest some awesome places I need to try, but I could always use a few more! Here are a few of the places I already plan on going:
- Three Dots and a Dash
- Shedd Aquarium
- Lou Malnoti's
- Skydeck
- Sluggers in Wrigleyville
- Navy Pier
- Portillo's
