alright..i'm taking off for chi-town sunday sometime. it's gonna be me, my wife, and my sister in law (15 y/o)...and i was wondering what kind of stuff there is to do on a budget. i'll be staying near Shaumburg.

so far ideas i've gotten are:

John Hancock observation deck..kind of expensive for what it is though
that big mall in Shaumburg
hanging out with Chris and Chris

just remember...i'll be out of class at like 3 or 4pm...so it'll all have to be stuff that's available in the evening. we're also planning on eating at some different places already...so we don't need suggestions there. so far Andrew's, Rainforrest, the Parthanon, and Cheesecake Factory. we don't eat those places often...hence why most of our spending cash is going to eating out :p
