As we make our way through August and Summer begins drawing to a close, (Alas… it’s true), I’d like to make an end-of – season recommendation to all of you. Take a “staycation” in Chicago for Free!
Staycation:
Being that we live in one of the best cities in the world for art, music and museums there is no better place to plan a day trip with family and friends. How long has it been since you’ve taken a day and, “played tourist”?
