We decided to take advantage of the long July 4th weekend and celebrate our anniversary in Chicago.
Accommodation
Park Hyatt - Using Keith's points, we treated ourselves to this awesome hotel located on Michigan Avenue. The rooms are very nice with remote controls to open and close the curtains! They do a nice breakfast on the 8th floor overlooking the Water Tower and they also have a nice outside bar on the 8th floor.
Activities
We had our fair share of water activities. We took a 3 hour kayaking tour along the Chicago river, learning about the architecture of the buildings. It was really cool to see the buildings from that angle. We also took a 2 hour architecture boat tour along the river.
