OUR STORY

Four years ago, I was just a guy who had a crush on a girl, who had a boyfriend. And I had to do the hardest thing that I've ever had to do, which was just to...wait. For a really long time that's all I had. Little moments with a girl who saw me as a friend. And, a lot of people told me I was crazy to wait this long for a date with a girl I work with but I think, even then I knew that...I was waiting for my wife. Okay, so above is actually a quote from our favorite TV show, The Office. Our story coming soon ;)

Travel

Navy Pier

Navy Pier&nbsp;is a 3,300-foot-long <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">pier</a>&nbsp;on the shoreline of&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Michigan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lake Michigan</a>. Navy Pier encompasses over 50 acres of parks, gardens, shops, restaurants, family attractions and exhibition facilities and is one of the top destinations in the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwestern_United_States" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Midwestern United States</a>. It is one of the most visited attractions in the entire Midwest and is Chicago's second most visited tourist attraction.

MILLENNIUM PARK

Millennium Park is more than an attraction — it’s an expression of the Chicago experience. The lakefront campus, located in the heart of downtown Chicago, is home to the iconic&nbsp;<a href="https://www.choosechicago.com/articles/tours-and-attractions/the-bean-chicago/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cloud Gate</a>&nbsp;statue (aka “The Bean”), interactive fountains, tranquil gardens, free events, public art, skating rinks, rock climbing, and plenty of green space.

CHICAGO RIVERWALK

Urban explorers love the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.choosechicago.com/things-to-do/chicago-riverwalk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chicago Riverwalk</a>, a 1.25-mile stretch located on the south bank of the Chicago River, right in the heart of downtown Chicago. This multi-award-winning, pedestrian-friendly attraction is populated with intimate coves; waterfront cafes, wineries, and bars; history-making public art; monuments; museums; and amazing excursions on the water. It’s also a great place to take in Chicago’s stunning architecture. If you're looking for a workout, rent some kayaks!

LOU MALNATI'S

Do yourself a favor and get yourself a slice of heaven. Lou Malnati's is THE BEST DEEP DISH PIZZA EVER. They have several locations downtown, and better yet, have a location that is only 0.4 miles away from our hotel &amp; venue location!

MUSEUM CAMPUS

It's no secret that Chicago is home to some of the most incredible museums in the nation. Museum Campus is a 57-acre museum park that sits near Lake Michigan and surrounds three of the city's most notable museums, all dedicated to the natural sciences: the Adler Planetarium; the Shedd Aquarium (our favorite); and the Field Museum of Natural History. Feeling adventurous? Take a water taxi from Navy Pier to Museum Campus! The views are stunning.

WATER TAXI

So much to do yet so little time? Hop on one of Chicago's water taxis and do it all! Shoreline Sightseeing (<a href="https://shorelinesightseeing.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://shorelinesightseeing.com</a>) and Chicago Water Taxi ( <a href="https://www.chicagowatertaxi.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.chicagowatertaxi.com</a>) are two popular options that offer unique tours and/or simple drop-off/pick-up rides.
