We flew in on a Friday night, and flew out on a Sunday, so it was a quick trip, but we got an AirBNB in Bucktown, so we down in the heart of the action. We got in late on Friday but in plenty of time to still grab a bite.
Saturday morning we woke up early and headed out on the Chicago bike share to check out some of the trendy neighborhoods up and down the Blue Line....Bucktown, Wicker Park, Logan Square, etc. We cruised around for ~2 hours, stopping along the way to learn where we were, and if any of these towns looked like an interesting place to live.
We got back and found a great brunch spot, and had Maliha meet us there. After the meal, we hopped in her car and headed for the city. She got settled into her hotel and then we headed for a Chicago River tour. It was amazing! We cruised up and down the river, and learned all about history of the city & the building architecture, and a little harmonica at the end!
We then headed to Millennium park for quick snapshot of Lollapalooza, and then it was up to the North Shore part of the city for some dinner and then onto a Second City Show! We got there early to Second City so Dave could look at all of alumni there, and take in the scene...and when the show started we laughed for 2 hours straight. After the show ended we headed out for a final night cap, and caught an Uber back to our place.
Sunday morning we woke up early and got back to Scranton by Sunday afternoon to charge up for another week!
