Happy Monday! Any one have an upcoming vacation planned? Maybe a little stay-cation? I’ve lived in Chicago for about two years now and still have a never ending list of things to see and do in the city. We won’t even mention my list of restaurants to try that I continue to add to on a weekly basis. I’m making it a goal this summer to start knocking things off of these lists, starting with “exploring the suburbs”.
Last weekend my mom came in town and since we have already done all your typical touristy things downtown, I thought we could switch it up this time and head to the suburbs for a little girls getaway! We headed to Oakbrook for a little shopping and relaxing at the Le Meridien hotel. We spent the entire day shopping and with their Ultimate Shopping Package we were able to have our bundles sent straight from the stores to our room, how cool…and dangerous as we didn’t have to stop shopping once our hands were full. It was the perfect little stay-cation and another check off the “Things to-do” list. Next stop, tackling this “Restaurants to-try” list.

We don’t always need to book a flight out of town for a vacation, sometimes a little stay-cation exploring your own city does the trick. Take this week to try somewhere new for dinner or explore a new part of town you’ve been wanting to see. Maybe try that restaurant that everyone has been raving about or stay the night at a hotel in a different part of town to switch things up. You never know what you may find within your own city!
