Alan and I have been talking about taking an extended weekend trip this spring or early summer since we're not taking an extended vacation this year. We have looked at several cities within a several hour radius of us and one of the places we've been looking at is Chicago. I have family and friends that live in the area and it would be great to plan a long weekend to go up there to see them and plan some fun activities for us and the kids.
Enter Vimbly.com
Vimbly
shows open time slots for activities, classes, & date ideas by
different businesses on a single page and lets users book directly. I first attempted to use the Choose Your Own Adventure option, but it would only let me select from movies, when I would much prefer to do something I can't do in my town. So, I decided to choose from the Cultural and Sightseeing category, much more to our tastes.
Chicago is known for its museums, its architecture and the lakefront. While I have been to the area many times - we used to visit my family almost every summer, I haven't really done a whole lot in the city so I was super excited to find 190 activities in this category.
Vimbly is hoping to establish a national presence in 2015 and I really hope they do because it would be so nice to use the site to plan other weekend trips, such as Nashville...hint hint :-)

I like how you can narrow your search by date, time, price, even neighborhood!
Here are just a few of the things I found that we would enjoy:
- The Winter Loop Tour - a free walking tour of the Loop
- The Loop Interior Architectural Tour - a walking tour of the interiors of some of Chicago's famous landmarks
- The Roaring 20's Tour - a tour of the infamous sights associated with 1920's gangsters
- Tiffany Art Glass Landmarks Walking Tour - a walking tour designed to explore the art glass designed by Tiffany & Co.
- Historic Chicago Bar Tour - a pub crawl with an educational twist In case Alan and I were lucky enough to get a date night.

You will soon learn that the Copaiba is great for all things inflammation! I use this all the time for sinus pressure or sore muscles. It's also great for driving other oils in!
