Last year, we stayed in Brooklyn and rode bikes around New York City for a week. We had no car. It was awesome.
I want to do a similar thing in Chicago this year. What are your vacation ideas? Not so much “the dream vacation that I want to do someday but can’t”, what do you want that you might do soon?

    I’m taking a somewhat unplanned trip to Pittsburgh this weekend.

    We were supposed to be going to Detroit to see a relative’s new house, but the remodelers are there, so I had a day planned in Pittsburgh to break up the long drive back, but now it’s going to be the whole trip.

    I’m stopping at the National Aviary and booked the private owl encounter so I can hold an owl! Greatly looking forward to that!

        An owl would never make their own appointments… They’re the stars.

        I made the appointment with its agent, naturally. 😝

        Largest aviary in the country!

        And I haven’t really spent time in Pittsburgh before, but I passed through it about 10 years ago, and after just seeing it in textbooks from the steel industry days I had very low expectations, but I thought it looked very nice! There were lots of big bridges due to the 3 rivers, so there were nice views everywhere. I’m excited to get a closer look at everything.
