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!!

Puerto Rico - Day 4

Today we woke up and directly went to beach walk. It was our breakfast our day, we went to a very fancy place on Isla Verde. Food was unique and tasty! Walk to castle through stunning old San Juan Bobba is must! We got ready and headed to castle visits. Both the castles in old San Juan are along ocean, built by local Indian people and then taken over by Spanish people. They are huge and in good space. Views and structure is breathtaking! We booked an underwater walking tour ( introductory scuba) so we went there in the afternoon. I was scared in the beginning but did it later in second round. They give bread in your hand so lots of fishes come near you, it was amazing experience. The resort where it was located was very beautiful! We ended our day by exploring Condado area and eating Asian food! Again the food was great! Day 5 link http://ourweekendsdiary.blogspot.com/2023/02/puerto-rico-day-5.html

The Northern Lights: Nature’s Own Festivity Our odyssey began with a promise to witness the ethereal beauty of the Northern Lights .

The auroras, with their vibrant ballet of colors, became the silent narrators of our nights. Helsinki: A Birthday Celebration In Helsinki, we celebrated Shri's birthday, a day marked by history and gastronomy. The old town’s architecture whispered stories of the past, while the majestic churches stood as sentinels of serenity which he is always fascinated by.
