Travel with Me: Weekend Edition / Chicago, Chicago, Illinois
I’m back with a Travel with Me: Weekend Edition post, a shortened version of my Travel With Me posts.

I found a great deal on this hotel at Hotels.com. The hotel is literally right off of the Magnificent Mile (a famous street for shopping and dining). The woman who checked us in was not that friendly, but she was efficient, so we made it up to the room quickly. I was happy to see that we were placed on a higher floor (32!) with a fantastic view of the city. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
