I'm even a lifelong Cubs fan. :)<br /><br />Next week we'll be in Chicago, visiting the Field Museum and the Chicago Historical Society Museum...and anywhere else we can squeeze in before we have to come back home. :)Erica Vetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772984806574666959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301018938387900957.post-87354357863552217382010-09-14T12:05:51.857-05:002010-09-14T12:05:51.857-05:00I live two hours south of Chicago, so I have been ...I live two hours south of Chicago, so I have been there numerous times. I love shopping on Michigan Avenue at Christmas time and going to the old Marshall Fields (now Macy's) on State Street to see the window displays. Navy Pier is beautiful, but I don't recommend going when its cold! The Museums are phenomenal, as is the aquarium, and getting to see a real Broadway show so close to home was super exciting (I saw "Wicked"). I don't get up there very often, but I do think it is a lovely place to visit.Kaitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964962544850347351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301018938387900957.post-48561047678014854722010-09-14T09:00:18.998-05:002010-09-14T09:00:18.998-05:00My first and only visit to Chicago was a little ov...My first and only visit to Chicago was a little over a decade ago. The Romance Writer's of America conference was being held there, and I was a brand new writer. My first novella had come out about nine months before with Tyndale House. There were a handful of us in town who were writing for them, and they treated us like royalty. Limos, dinner while touring the Lake, a visit to the publishing house. But for this star struck newbie, riding in a limo with Francine Rivers was the highpoint. <br />So for me, Chicago is a special City filled with fond memories. A place dear to my heart where dreams really do come true!Jerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555133708277829544noreply@blogger.com
