We will be in Chicago 8/7-8/10 for a Cubs and RedSox (oops White Sox!)game, then we go to Millwaukee and beyond for more baseball. We're staying at the James downtown. We hope to visit Hancock Tower and Millenium park. Restaurant pix so far are Genos or Maletis(sp) for deep dish pizza and maybe Harry Carey's for atmosphere and steak. What else would you suggest for our family of four w/boys 13 and 15?

I am doing the same trip...Great minds think alike. Where are you coming from? Are you also going to Minneapolis or stopping in Milwaukee?

I am also planning on the Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, and the Architectural River Cruise.

We are coming from MA to Chicago and going on to Milwaukee. Leaving Chicago on Sunday to travel to Milwaukee. We have tix to Brewers game on Monday @
1:05. River cruise sounds good too.. do you have teens?

No, there are 4 of us coming from Connecticut- all friends from college celebrating our 30th birthdays.

We are going to the same Brewers game.

With teenage boys, you might be interested in this thread I posted a few days ago:
