Posts Tagged ‘Shooting and Drinking in Michigan–Chicago Day Trip’

Chicago is a tourist destination for many Americans and foreigners. Chicago has an assortment of top museums and cultural attractions. Chicago has many bridges crossing back and forth over the Chicago River which can make it a very hot humid place to be in the summer months. Day trips away from the city provides relief from this city heat and also offers unique activities not found in the city limits. Nothing better than a relaxing motor coach ride for a day of shooting weapons at a range and then a tour of a working Winery, Brewery and Distillery for a tasting menu of libations.
