I cannot believe we are approaching the final days of July. Way to live life in the fast lane, summertime.
I find it critical to make a last month of summer Chicago to-do list, as I intend to enjoy ever moment of summertime we have remaining. I’ll keep it short, since we’ve only got a month left:
1. Movies in the Park: A perfect way to end your summer day, for a complete schedule, see here. Pack some lawn chairs or a blanket and a snack (I recommend chocolate and wine).
2. Fireworks: Chicago thinks just because the 4th of July has passed, doesn’t mean we all can’t enjoy some fireworks. Head to Navy Pier on any Wednesday or Saturday night to enjoy a free show.
3. Go to the Beach: Head to your local lakefront to enjoy a full day of fun in the sun on the beach.
4. Get some Frozen Yogurt: For a city that experiences 4 seasons, we sure have a lot of Froyo options—YogenFruz, StarfruitCafe, BerryMoon, and my personal favorite, Forever Yogurt. Enjoy this tasty treat as a refresher on a hot day.
5. Explore a new Neighborhood: This city is so vast that you can never really become a full expert. Go explore an area you’ve never seen before. This can be as simple as getting off a random stop on your commute home and exploring for the evening. Another easy way to explore a new neighborhood is to attend one of the remaining city festivals.
What else do you plan to do before the summer ends?
