Driving to Chicago for a weekend get away in two weeks! Both DS's, 18 & 19 have visited with school trips, but I have never been. I have done a fair amount of planning, particularly using TripAdvisor reviews, but I am all ears if any of you guys have any tips or advice! Any don't miss or SKIP this attraction advice? We are staying in the River North area downtown & definitely planning a trip down Michigan Ave, aka "Mag Mile", also a boat trip to see the architecture and the city skyline, we'll be seeing both the river and the lake. Both DS's want to return visit to the Art Institute of Chicago and of course Navy Pier and Millennium Park (the bean). Also planning to ride the "L" to check out Wrigley Field - alas no games while we are visiting. Am I missing any of the biggies or any tips on visiting any of these places?
