We wanted to celebrate my birthday in a big way this year. We found summer skyz on Groupon and the…read morereviews there were good so we decided to give them a try. Felipe was our pilot and main contact for setting up the flight. He was really personable and professional. Lots of things have to go right for you to be able to fly safely, like a reasonable wind speed and any regulations from the city/FAA so communication is important. Felipe kept us in the loop on all those factors. The flight itself was beautiful. We flew around downtown and the views were amazing. We got right up close to the Sears tower, so close I could see the people inside of it. Felipe also flew over our neighborhood so we could see our house! If you are interested in a helicopter ride, I highly recommend summer skyz!

Located basically at Ashland and Roosevelt, this gorgeous facility has a lovely lounge area, complete with bathrooms, vending machines and comfortable chairs while you wait for the real treat, which are the helicopters! I was there to do a 30 minute tour of the city, but you can also rent a helicopter to take you and your crew to a golf outing up in Lake Geneva, travel around to check out real estate or do anything within their flying range. They offer both tour packages as well as shared ride services. Gee! Too bad I can't take this from the burbs to the city during Friday night rush hour. But I digress. Back to the tour. I ordered a 30 minute tour of the city (please note: price at the time of booking this last year was about $200 a ticket. Today $150 ticket price covers a 15 minute tour). Our choice of times were during the day, twilight or night sky. My friend who is an avid flyer suggested daytime for the first time but now I know I want to go back and see our city at night. Our pilot Russ was great, explaining what was going to happen, getting us situated with headsets and then off we went! If you are a Cubs fan, and want to see Wrigley from the air- know that during game days, there is a "no fly" zone up that way so you wont be able to see that landmark. We went to the south instead, flying over Hyde Park, the Museum of Science and Industry, Soldier Field and then up through Grant Park, through downtown and out to the United Center before circling back. It was stunning. If you are looking for the perfect gift for someone who loves Chicago, or just want to see our city from a different perspective, call Vertiport. It's a unique experience!

This is a stunning house/museum located in Schaumburg, Illinois, just minutes from my house. This mid-century modern house was masterfully planned and built by architect Paul Schweikher in 1938 in a former farm field. The grounds are beautifully manicured and maintained. As we turned on the (somewhat obscure) driveway, we were immediately transported back in time. Truly magical. Our docent went out of his way to engage us with not only the details of the house, grounds and construction, but entertained us with stories of the former owners and their friends. You don't want to miss this experience. We will definitely be checking out some of the events planned for this lovely, preserved genius home!
