We stayed in Chicago for 10 days. Our hotel was right next to Grant Park which was great as there were loads of summer activities happening like free live music, open air theatre and even a freestyle yo-yo competition!

| Free music concert + a picnic= perfect Monday evening! |

The time went really quickly, we spent a few days on the beach enjoying the heatwave and a few evenings in the park taking advantage of the free live events. The park is lovely, it has lots of different areas and amazing sculptures like the cloud gate which reflects the whole city view.

| The cloud gate- awesome! |
We also spent a lot of time walking around the city, doing a bit of shopping and just taking in the architecture which is fantastic. It is truly a beautiful city.

We went to the baseball to watch the cubbies,which wasn't as good as the cricket but still a good night. The cubs got beat 4-2 and as we got there a little bit late we didn't even see them score any runs but the atmosphere was great , don't think I've ever seen so much food consumed in the time frame- helmet full of nachos anyone?!

Navy Pier was especially good with fireworks twice a week and live music. The view of the city is fantastic from there.

Our best evening by far was our trip up the John Hancock Building where the view of the city is really special. We did only plan to have one drink but the view was so lovely we ended up staying for 3.. bottles of wine! I blame the sunset!You can see from the photos how good the view was...

| The view from the John Hancock Tower- cheers! |
