Summer in Chicago

While most of us probably think of cold winters when we think of Chicago, in the warmer weather the Lake Michigan waterfront reminds us more of Miami Beach than a snowy midwestern city.  Venture a little bit inland and you'll find all the usual kinds of places of interest that you'll find in any major city.  But you could easily spend a week exploring the five mile stretch of waterfront that extends from the McCormick Place Convention Center on the south to the Lincoln Park Zoo on the north.  In between are a bunch of parks and beaches plus a big marina, the Field Museum, Adler Planetarium, Soldier Field, Shedd Aquarium and much more. Sable at Navy Pier Chicago is a good hotel option when visiting, great views of the Chicago skyline near the middle of the most interesting part of the waterfront.

The name of the Newport, Rhode Island hotel called Forty 1 North refers to its latitude.  On a scale of 1 to 100 it scores much higher than 41 and is perfectly located at the marina where you can park your 200 foot yacht.
