Our Dreamy Chicago Vacation

These pictures do NO justice for how beautiful Chicago is during Christmas time. Go to places are JoJo's Shake Bar - Chicago had the must YUMMY shakes and the food was great, Millennium Park was sooo dreamy and had an outdoor ice skating rink, Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse was a DREAM and the food was delicious, Macy's was also beautiful this time of year. I know there is so much more to do, but with two tired children, it made it a bit difficult to get around. We will definitely be back. Now to get home! Saylor had her first dance tonight and basketball all weekend! #chicagoland #chicagotrip #travelwithme2024 #chicagoexplore #sportsmom
