“What is your favorite place to visit in Chicago?”
My favorite place to visit in Chicago has certainly changed since having children. These days, I love to take a Saturday walk with my children in the summer to the Lincoln Park Zoo. We have a routine of stopping at the local coffee shop, picking up some items from the Green City Farmers Market, walking through the zoo and then coming home in time for lunch and naps. It is a simple weekly reminder of why I love Chicago.
