As summer is slowly slipping toward autumn, I’m having fun looking back at all the wonderful places I visited and all the fantastic memories I made.

Despite my local expeditions, my travel bug was full pitch by the time August started. Seeing my best friend was top priority, so last week I flew into Illinois … More Three Free Things To Do In Chicago
