Make - a. splash! to -- kick... off the unofficial start to summer?
Chicago
Head off to the fast-paced and ultra-cool Windy City, where your first glimpse of the dramatic city skyline is just a harbinger of monumental buildings to come. Architectural gems abound in this lakefront city, housing renowned museums, dynamic theaters, first-rate restaurants, and bars and music venues that spill over with the sounds of blues and jazz. Enjoy the urban montage while taking in the city's Memorial Day Parade on the 23rd, and try and nab tickets for the White Sox game later that evening, which is slated to feature performers like Ray Charles and Alicia Keys, followed by a spectacular fireworks display.
