"The only (I repeat: only) reason we haven't fled Chicago yet for warmer climes is because of the summers here. The endless list of activities remind me why I love this town. Our go-to everyday activities are picnics in Millennium Park, sandcastle building at 31st Street Beach, $1 movies, neighborhood fests (Printer's Row Lit Fest is a fave) and flea markets. We also make quick weekend trips to nearby getaways like Saugatuck, Michigan, and Door County, Wisconsin. It's a great feeling when you can wake up without a set plan and still find a ton of things to keep everyone in the family busy and happy."
