If you're trying to plan a fun event for the whole family, you might be thinking Disney (either California or Florida) or some other always-sunny location. Here’s an offbeat idea: Chicago. Shows, events, countless shops, gourmet restaurants, and stunning architecture will keep everyone entertained. If you've got children, consider making all of their dreams come true by taking them to one of the many Sesame Street shows in Chicago where they can see all their beloved characters come to life before their very own eyes.
