As the wind blows....

Chicago is known as the Windy City and it is a fitting moniker. The weather is Chicago can often be cold and windy as Chicago is on Lake Michigan and the lake winds can be cold and howling. It goes without saying, if you don't like the cold weather to stay away from Chicago from late November to April.

So, what to check out when you are there.... The Sears Tower is a must see. At one point it was the tallest building in the world and while other buildings are taller now, it is still an impressive building offering incredible views from the top.

Another must see is historic Navy Pier. Built in 1909, the pier is now a destination shopping and entertainment attraction. You'll find restaurants, shops, theaters and much, much more. There are also many great events held at Navy pier and you find out about them here.

Chicago is known for deep dish pizza, i like mine with bananas. Depending on who you ask, you will get many different answers for who has the best. If you want my advice, try them all.

Have fun and happy traveling to Chi-town.
