We Visited Chicago and the Reality Surprised Us
Sean is turning 13! So we took her to Chicago to celebrate her birthday. She made her own wish list of all the things she wanted to do and eat in Chicago, so we knocked them out one by one!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN! I really love the way she made a list and you all just went down it and indulged in all her wishes. (My son always says, I don’t know what I wanna do. 🙄😂). And I adore your girls’ relationship. Ella being sad about Sean leaving her in single digits, and the gifts she gave her, made me smile with wet eyes lol. Great video. Thanks for sharing ♥️ (And Happy Mother’s Day to you Carmen!)
I LOVE your videos!! Thanks again & Happy Birthday Sean :)
Awesome Awesome Awesome! This one was extra special! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SEAN!!!! She is such a comedian too😄 You guys showcased some great things to do in Chicago! I especially loved the huge surprise on Ella's face at the Japanese restaurant when she touched the mask and it turned a different color! It looks like there is so much to do in the windy city and thank you for showing us that! I'll have to reconsider visiting now! Well as usual thank you guys so much for sharing and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY Carmen! See you guys in the next adventure! Cheers!

Happy Mother’s Day Carmen. Happy Birthday Sean. Now, this was such a great video. I’m smiling from ear to ear and most importantly taking notes. All the places and things she wanted to do seemed so fun. Love it. 😊
Happy Birthday Sean. That definitely was a dream birthday celebration. Thanks for sharing with us.😎
Happy birthday Sean🌸🎂💝 looks like you all had an awesome trip. Loved the list you covered a lot of ground😁
Lou Malnati's is actually pretty old school deep dish, but I understand it might not be for everyone. Try Pequod's next time. Instead of the buttery, pie-like crust of a regular deep dish, Pequod's has a more caramelized pan crust. Hope y'all enjoyed your time in Chicago. Come back in the summer some time. That's when the city shines, and the architecture sunset tour is worth it.
This brought back so many good memories of my childhood + some great ideas about new places to check out with my kids when I visit home.
Beautiful video! Happy belated birthday Sean! I smiled the whole time while watching your adventures through the city (now suburbs) I've lived in for 20 years now! You definitely showed me why I need to have some downtown staycations with my husband and son this summer, fall. We hibernate during our winters, LOL! Thanks for sharing!
I just want to say this was so great & truly inspiring! I can't to travel with our children ☺💝Thank you for sharing ❤ 💕
Happy belated birthday, Sean!!! This looks like such an amazing birthday experience... lots of memorable activities and dining with family, and your nails look so pretty!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy 13th Birthday Sean! Good luck Serge and Carmen 🤣
You came to Chicago, my hometown! to most people I know (i.e., locals) Willis Tower will always be the Sears Tower. Put on your list for next time Sean: Science & Industry Museum Field Museum (tell Sue the T-Rex I sent you) The planetarium Do a cruise on our beautiful Lake Michigan and Navy Pier Great Choice of Pan Pizza! Love Lou Malnati’s, other options are Gino’s and Uno or Due… both Uno/Due are owned by same org, my favorite pizza, though, is Georgio’s in Crystal Lake, IL For hot dogs I love Portillo’s Lots of cool restaurants near my office in Fulton Market, I LOVE Carnivale Six Flags in Gurnee! Take the train from the city out to Libertyville and it’s a short ride in a cab or car rental. The Botanical Gardens in Glencoe Come for the air show in August! But my favorite time of the year is probably June and October

The most iconic deep dish pizza places in Chicago are Uno's/Due's, Gino's & Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder's. Uno's is a traditional deep dish, Gino's has a cornmeal crust & Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder's is made in a bowl with the crust on the top. When it is served the bowl is inverted so that the top becomes the container for the pizza. (My personal favorite.)
Happy birthday Sean! May your light continue to shine bright. Happy Mother’s Day Carmen

I We visited Chicago 2/19 loved it in the cold and all! A city we will revisit 🤗
Great vibe. Where stay for family trip like this. ? Thanks
This is the first time you go somewhere that I’ve been as a tourist (I live in Philly) and we did the tilt and a ton of other things when we where there
Happy birthday Sean 🎉🎉🥳!!;. Happy Mother's Day Carmen!! Glad you guys got to enjoy my hometown!! Yes, my heart did sink when Sean mispronounced Garrett's!! 🤣😂

I love Giordano’s deep dish better. If you don’t want deep dish I like Beggars and Aurelio’s. If you ever step foot in Chicago again you would be doing yourself a disservice by not trying Batter & Berries in Lincoln park. It’s a 100 outta 10 all around. You will not be disappointed. It is amazing every single time! Happy birthday to Sean and check out the city next time when it’s summer ❤️
Yay
GARRET'S is the BEST! Love their popcorn so much. Lou Malnati's is so yummy! I miss it so much.

“She’ll be 12 when it’s convenient” 😂 love it
Looks like you had an awesome visit to my home town. Next time you're there, try the pizza at Home Run Inn. It's a Chicago staple. Also, your channel has me hooked and excited to expand my travels. Thinking about doing a 14 city challenge since my daughter turns 14 this year.
Next time you are in Chicago, try Pequod's for pizza. I think it's way better than Lou Malnatti's. Also, Garrett's popcorn is definitely a Chicago must try. So you guys did a good job.

Happy birthday Sean! 💐 i am from Chicago and I hate lou malnatis. Giordanos all the way for me. For hot dogs, Devil Dawgs is a must try 🌭! I gota get to Haidilao though, it looks amazing. I also love how you & Serge let the girls wear nails, my parents never let me wear them! Haha

I live in Chicago and have not even heard of those Asian cuisine restaurants. Best Pizza is in the Wicker Park neighborhood across street from Roby hotel. Shaws is good but Joe's Crab Shack is better !
Next time- Gino’s East Pizza and Luke’s Lobster
