First is the great seats we had a Wrigley....This was the memorial day game, and while the game itself was fun to watch...well...ok, its the cubs...so funny to watch...the opening ceromonies really took the cake. We got to watch a bald eagle released over the field, and see Sgt. Brian Anderson throw out the first pitch. Sgt. Anderson was in a roadside bomb in Iraq, and lost three of his limbs. It was a privilege to watch him throw out the pitch. 
Second is the Musuem of Science and Industry. There was some nifty stuff out there, and one of the neatest was the piece of the original plymouth rock. Still not sure why it said made it Japan on the back...
Third is the Shedd Aquarium. While the Shedd was fun, the dolphins, the otters, the Beluga whales, and the reptiles, some of the best were Anna's quotes...
"that fish is shiny. I want a pair of shoes like him." and "Common Crap? Are these just average fish...wait...that says carp...nevermind.."
Number four is second city, and the old town neighborhood. We like the comedy show at Second City...a place where alumnis include John Candy, Steve Carell, and a slew of others. But we also liked the neighborhood. This was the 'village' feel that was young, fun, and trendy.
Finally...the pizza pie from Pizzeria Uno....on my. I can't eat pizza for a long time...that was sssooooo good......
