Great start Jeff! I'm so happy to hear you're going to try to take in a Cubs Game(always love my Cubbies)! Shedd Aquarium is amazing if you have time to visit there. Chicago isalways one of my favorite places to visit(I'm a bit biased since my parents and family are from there). I hope you have an amazing trip and please include a pic of your Great Niece.
