You know you love them right! Families, you can’t live with them you can’t live without them! It has started, everyone is calling in trying to get their rooms reserved for their family reunion in Chicago. Were a very popular Chicago Family Reunion Hotel in case you didn’t know! Chicago seems to picking up this year as a destination and with all our attractions I can see why. The biggest problem facing family reunions right now is that if you haven’t contacted the Chicago Park District for a park permit your dates are probably gone. We’ve got alot of parks here in Chicago and summer “BBQ” is pretty popular here in Chicago, I can smell it now, I’m hungry now!

For those of you who missed the park options take a look at www.choosechicago.com and you will see all the festivities going on the weekend that you plan to be here. Chicago always has some thing going on so don’t panic there are options. If your stuck give me a call and I will reccommend a few. Now someone pass me that turkey leg!

The White House Exhibit

The White House Exhibit

This is a great exhibit if your coming to Chicago. You will get to see parts of the White House that no one gets to see!

Its inside look at the People’s House that few people get.
The Museum’s new temporary exhibit, The White House: A Look Inside, offers an unprecedented up-close look at America’s most famous and beloved landmark. It takes you from the East Wing to the West Wing, through notable moments in history to the White House as it is today, in grand dimensions and true-to-life scale. Like the home that inspired it, this exhibit offers an awe-inspiring experience for the young and young-at-heart.

It begins with a photographic timeline of the White House: learn about its original construction, and the renovations and expansions throughout its 200-plus years. Gain new insight into the ever-changing role of the First Lady, and behind-the-scenes details on the daily life at the White House, supported by a legion of dedicated staff. See authentic artifacts from administrations throughout history, ranging from White House china to holiday cards. Learn more about the people – and even pets including a pony and a sheep – who have made their home in this famous house, with a special focus on the four Presidents who have lived in Illinois: Lincoln, Grant, Reagan and Obama.

The centerpiece of the exhibit is a meticulously detailed, 60-by-13 foot, 1:12 scale replica of the White House. Complete with hand-carved chairs and tables, stitch-by-stitch carpet recreations and even tiny working televisions, this masterpiece of miniature is the result of more than 600,000 work hours. This gift “to the people from the people” is truly a wonder to behold.

Opening with Christmas Around the World and Holidays of Light on November 20, the doors to the White House exhibit will be open through President’s Day, February 15, 2010.
