So, what else can you do in Chicago in the summer? Lots!

The month of July was eventful, fun, and flew by faster than I could have imagined. I made my best effort to do everything I could every weekend! Chicago has so much to offer in the summer, take advantage of it!! (and how cool it is to be in Chicago with your best friend for the summer, along with meeting some pretty cool roommates!)

Taste of Chicago!
Sample sized foods that's a bit overpriced, but worth the money. Lots of free entertainment and delicious food.

Navy Pier! 

Navy Pier constantly has events going on, we attended the beginning of the boat races that were racing from Chicago to Mackinac Island in Michigan. We attended a sailing party in celebration of this! 

Hit the beach! 

It is always beautiful and a perfect getaway! Get outside, you won't regret it! :) 

Make a spontaneous trip to a Taylor Swift concert

This is pretty self explanatory... Bought the tickets the night before and had the time of our lives at the concert singing and dancing with 55,000 other people while receiving great life advice from Taylor Swift herself. Spent time after the show running through downtown Chicago, it was probably the best night I spent there. 

Go to Lincoln Park Zoo!

It is free, but we decided to go for adults night out. A DJ, smaller crowds, and the zoo was open at night! 

Take a boat ride on Lake Michigan! 

We also did this late minute... worth the money. Took a tall boat ride on Lake Michigan at sunset while learning about ghost stories of the lake. We then watched fireworks afterwards!

These are just a few things that Chicago has to offer on the weekends in July, there are also many free concerts, book signings, comedy clubs, and good food! Just keep an open eye and you will find plenty to do, I promise :)
