Thank you for showing the City of Chicago in such a beautiful light! I live just a little Southeast of the city and here nothing but negativity and violence. Your vlog was so refreshing and helped me view the city I was born in - in a much better light! I love Chicago! I lived in multiple places, including out of the country, but I always come back to "Sweet home, Chicago." Thank you again! Love your kiddos!!
Love the idea of a little weekend trip with the husband! ♥️ and props to you for doing so much solo! Must’ve felt nice but strange to be child free. I laughed that you went to a playground despite not having kids with you. You were probably missing them hard. That’s parent life! :)
I really enjoyed seeing Chicago during quiet weekday times when not many people are vacationing there! I felt like I was able to see more of what the city is like and enjoy the beautiful scenery without all the hustle and bustle. So thanks for recording for us!!
I was honestly shocked at how calm everything was! It was kind of a bummer because all of the museums were closed the two days that we were there, but it was nice to not have as much tourist activity.
As a Chicagoan I'm so excited to see this vlog!! I love all your content but it was especially fun to see my city through your eyes :) Glad you two had fun!!
Chicago mama here to a boy just a little younger than Rowan. I was so PLEASANTLY SURPRISED to see you visiting our city! I’m glad you both had a good time, and can speak from experience how magical Maggie Daley park is with a toddler. ❤
I’m a Seattle transplant originally from Chicago. I would always go to the river walk on my lunch break to journal just like you were! It’s the perfect spot to stop and let your thoughts fly free for a bit. Love your channel by the way, our kids are about the same ages too! (I have a 2.5 yo boy and a 9month old girl).
I love exploring places on my own! But I often chicken out because I get so anxious about weird people. I guess its best to navigate a city by our instincts and we may just discover something really cool.
After years of following you (since you were pregnant with Rohan) I loved just watching you and Matt have an escape together and have time just the two of you! Don’t get me wrong I love your home blogs and seeing Rohan and Juniper, it was just nice X Love your family ❤
Aw, Megan! I had no idea you were a nerdfighter (or, at the very least, a watcher of the vlogbrothers haha)! So glad you had a fun trip; I love how much you embraced the solo moments!
I love this vlog! Thanks for bringing us along and for finding that awesome park. I already texted my husband and we’re planning on going there when we go to Chicago for the marathon with our 2 year old and 3 month old later this year!
Ugh I’m so jealous of your life! I wish I had time like that with my husband! How special for you guys. I love that you got to do this, and romanticize Chicago!
I LOVE Chicago. I went to college about an hour south of the city and have family in the area. It's such a beautiful city with rich history and so much to do. You have to go back to do an architecture river tour! Also, good choice on the pizza- between Giordano's, Gino's East, and Lou Malnati's, Lou Malnati's is my favorite!
I LOVE the way you shot this video!! So awesome that you added the names of the places you visited plus addresses! So helpful for those wanting to visit Chicago! My husband and I got engaged in Chicago in front of the beam back in 2018! Watching your video totally took me back and is giving me the itch to visit the city again !! Thank you ❤ keep doing your thing you are awesome!!
Why did this blog make me cried ? Loved to see how happy you looked! Sometimes it’s hard to give time to ourselves as parents. Current ly going through a lot with my toddler. Also just found out I’m pregnant ! Love you Megan, you helped me to fill my cup !
I live in chicago and it’s so funny after watching you for so long I have this feeling of “my friend came to chicago and didn’t even give me a heads up that she was here!” 😅 I would’ve been “star struck” if I had run into you during your stay! Ha. Glad you enjoyed your stay in chicago!!
Love this! My baby girl is the same age as Juniper and my husband and I just took a long weekend trip to Washington D.C and has the best time! It’s so important to date your spouse!
I wish I had known you were in Chicago! I could have told you a few great places to eat! P.s. I hope you saw the "bean" you think the Chicago River is beautiful now...you should see it around st. Patrick's day when it's dyed a bright green!
So cute and so proud of you for solo exploring! I just saw a tik tok that someone said as long as they vlogged they would file all their trips off as a tax write off for their job! Thought that would be so cool haha ☺️
Thank you for this awesome vlog. I am currently living in Chicago area and I love to see when others visit the city 🏙️. As a person who grew up elsewhere, I am still learning the lay of the land. Hopefully I will get a chance to explore and experience more once I have my ACL surgery

I actually found it to feel a little friendlier and safer than walking around downtown Seattle

WHY are so many places closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays?

Nice to see a part of America in a natural way and not a movie.

I went to Chicago a few years ago. I love that city! So nice you were able to get a weekend away with Matt
I live in chicago and it’s so funny after watching you for so long I have this feeling of “my friend came to chicago and didn’t even give me a heads up that she was here!” 😅 I would’ve been “star struck” if I had run into you during your stay! Ha. Glad you enjoyed your stay in chicago!!
Wow you picked some gorgeous restaurants! There's something about being in a city with beautiful architecture like that that just hits different!
All the buildings and their history was easily my favorite part
Omg the Chicago water tower building was beautiful!!! 🤩 this vlog was so fun!
I live just outside of Chicago and this really made me want to take a trip downtown. Thank you so much for vlogging your trip! 🥹
What a beautiful trip!!!
It was so much fun!
Love this! My baby girl is the same age as Juniper and my husband and I just took a long weekend trip to Washington D.C and has the best time! It’s so important to date your spouse!

Very pumped to see this blog, as a midwesterner! But you didn’t go to Giordano’s for your deep dish 😩 Next time!!!
Lou’s was recommended to us, but it was definitely a toss up!
Matts quiche comment 🤣
One was yummier than the other lol
I wish I had known you were in Chicago! I could have told you a few great places to eat! P.s. I hope you saw the "bean" you think the Chicago River is beautiful now...you should see it around st. Patrick's day when it's dyed a bright green!
Was that a vlogbrothers reference?! 😍
YES HAHAHAHA I’m so glad someone got it!!!
