2 Days in Chicago: Millennium Park, Grant Park & River Tour

Back in May 2019, we road tripped to Iowa to see my sister-in-law graduate from college and also visited my aunt who lives in Des Moines. Afterward, we drove to Chicago with my inlaws for two days of exploring the windy city! We stayed in the cutest Airbnb (that you can see on my Instagram highlight), and on our first day, we explored the Lincoln Park area. After a late start to our second day, we headed straight to see the famous Bean at Millennium Park! We also visited the massive Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park, stumbled upon a Game of Thrones pop-up, did some window shopping, and later ate burgers at Kuma’s Corner. The next morning we did a river tour. I’ve added it to the end of this post because it all could’ve easily been done in one day if we hadn’t had a late start.
