My husband and I have ties to Chicago and Southern Wisconsin (family and a cheese festival), so we have been heading out that way for the past three years, thanks to our son. We feel very lucky to "have" to go to Chicago every year. I think of the author of The School for Good Mothers when she called Philadelphia a "toy city". Those words hurt but she is right, especially since she is from Chicago which is not a toy city. Every time I pass one of their public indoor natatoriums, I think that.
The Chicago History Museum has a great sensory exhibit. My son got turned into a hot dog! They also have a cool transportation room and a whole section on the fire, with interactive stuff for the young firefighter in your life. It's a great spot if you are in Lincoln Park and want to get inside due to heat or rain or just want to become a Chicago dog!
Brasero looks great! Definitely putting that on my list.
I love vacation diaries! About to take a short road trip to South Australia tomorrow and this post is making me look forward to being in that exploratory frame of mind.

I hope you have an amazing time!
Estereo is SO fun! Very near to it is Mi Tocaya Antojeria. One of the best meals I’ve had.
I will ignore your affinity for the White Sox.
Your last sentence made me laugh out loud! I am texting your restaurant recommendation to my friends immediately!
This is so great - going to Chicago in 2 weeks and now I have a full list of things to check out! Your friends look incredibly fun and cool 😎
I am jealous! I already want to go back again!!!
