Staycation: Chicago

Chicago is a great place for a staycation! With its beautiful lakefront, the amazing skyline, and all the museums and activities downtown, we're lucky to have such a great city to call home.

My fiance and I had a mini-staycation last year: we played tourist for the day, with a romantic overnight stay at the Westin on Michigan Avenue. We went shopping on the Magnificent Mile, took in the sights from the museum campus (where the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and Adler Planeterium are located). We spent hours exploring the Field Museum, which we hadn't visited since grade school field trips... and watched the sea life in the giant tank at the Shedd Aquarium.

There are miles and miles of paths along the lake for a romantic stroll, and tons of fine dining downtown. Your staycation could include a dinner cruise on the Odyssey, theater (Wicked!) or a night on the town.
