Travel with Me and Baby | Chicago, Chicago, Illinois

It has been a long, long time since I wrote a travel post. Travel content, including travel guides and travel tips, used to be my very favorite thing to write. The last one I put together was a compilation of links to all my posts about our 2.5 month long backpacking trip in Europe, and I posted that in January 2018. So, after a long hiatus, I am back with more travel content. The next several posts I share will be focused on traveling with a baby, but this post in particular could be used by someone traveling sans children.

Today I am sharing about our family trip to Chicago during July 2018. This was my baby boy’s first time on an airplane, and he turned 3 months old while we were on this trip. I have lots of content on flying with/traveling with babies coming soon, so that won’t be the focus of this post. Today I am sharing what we did in Chicago for baby’s first big trip. And, even though we were “newbies” to traveling with a little one, we came home from that trip feeling like we made the most of our time in the Windy City, so I feel comfortable sharing this post as a guide to enjoying a trip to Chicago with a baby. I have also shared a map outlining our trip at the bottom of this post. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
