We have always been huge music fans, so when we had the chance to attend the Interstellar Rodeo music festival in Winnipeg last summer, we couldn’t have been more excited. With a name like Interstellar Rodeo, we weren’t quite sure what music to expect. Thankfully,...
OK, I have a confession to make—I’ve mentioned it briefly before, but I have a mild…well, I guess some may call it a full-blown obsession with the 90’s TV Show, Saved By The Bell. I literally watched it every day after school for years (at...
Chicago is home to one of the tallest buildings in the world, and because of this, it is a fantastic city to reach for the sky and take in the views at cloud level. The Willis Tower and the John Hancock Center are prime spots...
