Navy Pier

Navy Pier once a naval base, is now a shopping center and theme park for kids. It houses the world’s largest I-Max theater. At nighttime it’s a truly wonderful and romantic place

Chicago

Chicago is probably one of the most diverse and beautiful cities in the world. It boosts the world’s most beautiful skyline and on a clear night you can see over 35 miles from the Hancock observatory. Downtown Chicago on Michigan Avenue, has some of the finest shopping and nighttime entertainment you can find anywhere.

The last time I went to Chicago I went as a mentor for the Chicano Latino Studies Fellows program. The best part of the trip was getting to hang out on Navy Pier. We got a good tour of Shed Aquarium and the Chicano Fine Arts museum. Chicago was first founded in 1673 by a French missionary, and has since then has grown from a city with a population of 100 to over 3 million. I highly recommend visiting Chicago, 3 days should be allow plenty of time to visit all the Museums and maybe even catch dinner at the Cheese Factory.
