    Are we too late to enter? I just saw this on yesterday’s Groupon as I sadly had Internet failure from Tuesday-just an hour ago :(

    I would LOVE to go to Chicago… It made me the happiest 12 year old on earth 19 years ago… So happy we went there for our wedding anniversary (not 19 years ago ;p). I have yearned to return since the late 90s!

    Had a layover once after being snowed in the airport after a ski trip. Being able to check out the town this time would really make up for a lousy other trip.
