the top of the John Hancock Observatory and then hit Oak Street for<br />
some fabulous shopping. Drop by Millennium Park en route to lunch<br />

CONCIERGE, TRUMP INTERNATIONAL HOTEL & TOWER<br />

Begin your day with a morning run along Lake Michigan followed by<br />
breakfast at M. Henry. Afterwards, enjoy a Romance and Relaxation<br />
package at The Spa at Trump; the side-by-side infinity bath and<br />
massage with champagne is a must. Spend the afternoon watching a<br />
concert in Millennium Park’s Pritzker Pavilion with a special catered<br />
picnic by Pastoral. Afterwards, drop by the Art Institute of Chicago<br />
before hitting the shops; men head to Haberdash, and ladies get<br />
something custom made at Borris Powell’s Studio. Complete your<br />
perfect day in Chicago with cocktails at The Terrace at Trump followed<br />
by a private dinner on the Lady Grebe, with fireworks bringing the<br />
night to an explosive finale.<br />
