After seeing the Bean, take a stroll through Millennium Park! See if there is a concert or movie playing at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion or wander through one of it's many walking paths. You may find yourself in Maggie Daley Park, in front of Buckingham Fountain, or crossing one of it's many bridges to get to Navy Pier! At the edge of Maggie Daley Park is where we took our engagement photos :)
