Charming Chicago

 This third largest city in US is beautiful city along Chicago river and Lake Michigan is made of stunning buildings with world known architecture.


Downtown Chicago is home to more than 100 sculptures, mosaics, and paintings placed in plazas, lobbies, and on the Riverwalk


It also has preserved all the history with many great museums. We visited museum of money, museum of illusion, museum of slime, aquarium and other historic buildings like library, Marquette building, rookery building!!


Art is in every corner of a city and reminds you the great city of Florence. 


Whole city is bike friendly with bike paths everywhere even in the heart of the city and big famous scenic bike route along Lake Michigan with great beach pit stops.Biking and Segway was fun to do activity along the pristine blue water!


How can I forget the famous deep dish Pizza! It’s just amazing! Even the other crusts tastes different and very yummy!

One of unique place is Nutella cafe where everyone is made of Nutella and also you can make your own personalised jar.

Another great adventure was leaning through glass door from 94th floor, it’s called TILT and it was scary! Watching sunset from that building was surreal.


Our hotel was right in the heart of the city and everything was walkable! Had great views of downtown with Willis tower(Tallest building in Chicago) and on the other side we could see museum area with Lake Michigan!

We mostly traveled by taxi but kids used public transportation a lot! They took day pass and explored on their own, that was a big milestone for us and them too!

Overall it was a great destination to have lot of fun while relaxing!!

We arrived our Airbnb around 3am and welcomed by huge Chameli vine on entrance ! It was very fragrant and in quiet early morning it was very intense! What a great welcome by this pretty island! We got up and headed straight to beach after tea and breakfast. The first blue view was very refreshing, especially coming from cold weather. After spending time in water and sand kids decided to have kite surfing lessons. Waves were very good and many people were doing kite surfing. They took a lesson about how to navigate the kite, needed more lessons to ride a board.  After lesson we headed for lunch and out first lunch outside was super yum!
