Checking things off my Chicago To Do List:

I haven’t been so good about checking out all of the touristy things while living here.  The first year, I spent my time trying to live and act like a real Chicagoan.  Figuring out the public transportation system and trying to find new bars, clubs and restaurants that only locals would go to.  While that was helpful getting me acquainted with the real side of Chicago, after living here for four years, I’ve missed out on some of the most important tourist attractions.

Well, crunch time is officially here… with about 40 days left in Chicago, I’ve decided it’s time to check some things off my Chicago To Do list.  My first task is trying to figure out what I still need to accomplish. 

Here are a few I could think of:

1. Check out the Sears Willis Tower’s new observation deck
2. Go to the Planetarium
3. Go to the Museum of Contemporary Art
4. Water Tower (not the mall, I’ve seen plenty of that, but the actual tower)
5. Go to a Bears Game

So I need your help here.  If you’ve been to Chicago or live in Chicago what are some things you would recommend?
