Nick: We are back in Chicago! We actually lived here 4 years and this is where we met.
Madison: …and fell in love! We are Nick & Madison and we are absolutely thrilled to be walking down memory lane with Best Western in the Windy City. We are going to be sharing with you some of out top spots, must-see destinations here in the city.
[Music Plays. Nick & Madison arrive at Lincoln Park Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria]
Madison: I’m so excited! The moment I have been waiting for. Just as good as I remembered!
[Music Plays]
Nick: Looks like someone had too much pizza. Good night.
[Lamp Switch Clicks. Music Plays]
Madison: Good morning! We are up extra early today. We want to make the most of our time here in Chicago so, what better way to do that than by starting the day off with the sunrise?
[River Ripples. Music Plays. Nick & Madison arrive at North Avenue Beach]
Nick: Beautiful, huh?
Madison: It is just like I remember.
[Music Plays. Sound of Coffee Pouring]
Nick: So right now we are at Milton Lee Olive Park. Spectacular views. You have great trees for hanging a hammock, biking, running, all sorts of stuff and plus you have views of the beach and the skyline. One of the best ways to get around the city is by bike. They have locations all around, they’re just ride share programs. You pay at the station, get your bike and then there’s different drop off points all over.
Madison: And today we decided to take a ride down Lake Shore Drive which is this beautiful lakefront trail.
[Music Plays. Nick & Madison visit Navy Pier and Millennium Park]
Nick: Ladies and gentlemen, that’s “The Bean”. Not much to say about it, it’s just – The Bean.
Madison: …That the Bean! [Laughs]
Nick: Let’s get some close-up shots of… The Bean! [Madison says in unison]
[Music Plays]
Nick: Hey, Madison have you seen a bean this big before?
Madison: I have never seen a bean this big.
Nick: I dare you to touch it.
Madison: It’d be my pleasure!
[Music Plays. Nick & Madison arrive at Cindy’s Rooftop]
Nick: Thank you
[Music Plays]
Madison: $16 drinks. Only in Chicago.
Nick: Okay so we’re back on the road, just got cleaned up and are headed to Lisle which is a western suburb of Chicago.It’s about an hour outside the city. We are headed to the Morton Arboretrum.
Nick: Yeah and actually they’re celebrating their 100th anniversary this year…
Madison: Yes they are.
Nick: …and we are so excited to check it out!
[Music Plays]
Nick: They’re open 365 days a year. That means you can see differernt things throughout the seasons.
Madison: Yes, and for those of you wondering there’s a 9 mile drive you can take so you don’t have to walk the whole thing. If you’re up for walking or biking, they have like 16 or 17 miles of wooded trails. I’d want to come back in every season, honestly!
[Music Plays. Nick cheers to Madison jumping]
Madison: So guess where we’re at?
Nick: We’re at another Lou Malnati’s.
Madison: I had to, I couldn’t help myself!
Madison: Talk about an awesome vacation, right?
Nick: Yeah, we had a great time. First off, The Best Western Hawthorne Terrace Hotel, BW Plus was a great location, perfect stay, I mean no complaints there at all.
Madison: Uh-huh, It exceed our expectations. We were in walking distance to a lot of our favorite places and was very safe. We highly, highly recommend staying there when you book your next Windy City adventure!
