Chicago is “Sweet Home” to the likes of Wrigley Field, Soldier Field, the Willis and John Hancock Tower(s), Art Institute of Chicago, Shedd Aquarium, Oprah, the Loop, and previous home (before the White House) to the Obama family! The Second City offers awe-inspiring architecture (sample: Frank Lloyd Wright), is a sports haven (da Bears, da Bulls, da Cubs…), and is a food lover's dream—tempting taste buds with everything from deep-dish pizza and chop steak to Vienna hot dogs. "My Kind of Town" is a must-do.
Yosemite National Park in central California is unmatched in its scenery and is one of the best national parks in the United States. From iconic views like the picturesque El Capitan, as famously captured by Ansel Adams, to hikes up Half Dome and through redwood forests, to rafting on the Merced River to camping in glacier-carved valleys such as Tuolumne Meadows, to lodging in the park, to the thunderous waters of Yosemite Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, Yosemite has something to offer everyone.
