Chicago Bucket List
I can't believe it's been a year since I moved here! Time has gone so quickly and I love this city more and more each day (minus the terribly long and dreadful winter!).
One of the things I love most about Chicago is that there is always something to do. From festivals to restaurants, museums, parks, beaches and more, Chicago has a lot going on. While I did my best to go to everything last year, I fell prey to finding my go-to spots and not venturing out. I also missed a lot of events and festivals and I'm determined not to let that happen again this year.
I've put together a bucket list for things to do for my next year in Chicago.
