For me, it doesn't get better than going to Chicago for a few days in the summer and staying downtown. A nice morning walk down Michigan Avenue followed by a ride on the Red Line up to Wrigley Field to see the Cubs that afternoon. After the ballgame, hanging out at the bars around the ballpark before heading back downtown for the evening. Maybe stopping by The House of Blues.......... I need to do all of that again soon. It's been a couple of summers.

Memories of the trips my mom, sister and I made to Ely, Minnesota to fish with my grandpa when I was a little kid are always great. We stayed in a cabin and would spend most of the days out on the lake. I didn't appreciate the time as much back then as I do now.

I've taken many vacations to the Los Angeles area to visit my parents and while I love seeing them, I'm not overly impressed with the LA area. San Diego, now that's where I want to spend a week!

And of course, the Bay Area isn't too bad either.
