I end up visiting this place at least once a year. There’s always something new to see, and all the old stuff is still fun to look at. You won’t miss her, but make sure to see Sue, the largest in tact t-rex. There are plenty of other must see exhibits there, depending on your tastes. It’s just fun browsing and finding out new things.

I used to swing dancing at the Beer Garden in the summer, and those are probably my fondest memories of Navy Pier. It’s a very touristy place to take anyone wanting to take in the commercial side of Chicago. There’s always a lot to see at the Pier. If I’m there and it’s nice outside, I usually try to get a round of mini-golf in and then go on a ride on the ferris wheel. They have fireworks on Wednesday and Saturday in the evening, so try to get a ride on the ferris wheel then.

Probably the most fun zoo there is out there. It’s the only place where it’s felt like animals have enough room to roam freely. Plus, the place is just beautiful. If you go online, you can purchase adult tickets at a reduced price. It’s also part of the Southern California CityPass.

There is a lot to do at Quig’s besides picking apples. Though, of course that is the main thing you should do there. They have at least five different kinds of apples to pick: macintosh, cortland, empire, gala, and jonathan. They also have a restaurant, hay rides and a petting zoo.

This is one of the rites of passage for anyone going to school at the University of Illinois. You must go there, pick apples, maybe a pumpkin, have an apple donut, and generally have fun. I think I’ve adequately described the fun there. There’s also an area for little kids to play in, a petting zoo and other fun little things.

It is hard to live in Chicago and not to have visited this museum. It is a place that is hard to describe, not in what you can see, but how it makes you feel. It is such a different experience to see a print versus the real thing. You won’t be disappointed by visiting this place.

Upscale Resale of Libertyville is useful for those growing kids of yours. They have discounted new and used clothing. The emphasis is obviously on used clothing, but if you dig enough you’ll find something reasonable. The display is pretty prominent along downtown Libertyville. Parking is in the back or right in front of the store.

During the brief time I played racquetball, this was one of the places I used to go to play. It is kind of hidden up a long driveway, and the place can seem a bit worse for wear. However, I think it was a good place to be able to learn how to play and fairly cheap to get a court when you wanted to play.

I went here for most of my Bible study materials when I was a Bible study leader a few years back. They have quite a bit of material for the causal browser to those attending classes at the seminary. The prices are about average for a store like this, but you go there mostly because they’re bound to have something like what you want.

I was in another wedding that was at the University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign, and this was the place where I got my tux. The people were super friendly, helping me make sure everything fit right. They even did some on the spot alterations to make sure things fit just right. I was happy to find such accommodating people.
