Chicago Vacation Rental on the Magnificent Mile

One of the most difficult aspects of travel is finding suitable accommodations, especially if you're traveling with kids. One such way to circumvent standard hotel rooms is to look at vacation rentals, i.e., a condo or house, fully furnished, in a neighborhood (possibly with a yard!).  We recently spent a week in Chicago and searched high and low for a great rental in a good neighborhood or with a view. Luckily, we found one! This rental condo was on the Magnificent Mile,.

In recent months, Bangkok has been popping onto the TV for all the wrong reasons. Manic red- and yellow-shirted street protests, burning buses, chaos and anarchy -- what happened to all those Thai smiles we hear so much about?

On our recent trip to Chicago, we happened on the most amusing window display. Not the usual tall skinny faceless models with gorgeous clothes on, this window display made people laugh and take LOTS of photos! It was so very fun and we didn't mind standing out in the rain to laugh.  Housed in a window of WGN studios right next to the river at Michigan Avenue, each part of the peeps window display was so very creative.

The bunnies were so cool and I couldn't stop looking!
