During our four days and three nights in Chicago, we visited five museums, saw one play, shopped two favorite bookstores, and ate at several terrific spots, including Planta Queen.

On one of our walks over the weekend, we saw several Eastern bluebirds, as well as many sandhill cranes and robins. We also logged two geocaches.
