I have visited Illinois several times in my life. Both times it has really been to the Chicago area. I absolutely love Chicago. I have walked the Navy Pier, been to Wrigley Field, ridden the “L” through town, walked down the Magnificent Mile and in my pre-gluten-free days I enjoyed my fair share of Chicago-style pizza. Now that we live just hours away, I can’t wait for the day we can take our children to see the Shed Aquarium, the Legoland Discovery Center and so much more!
