With Chicago as the gateway to a world of new
experiences, Illinois is a magnificent vacation destination catering
to every kind of traveler. Visitors in search of a city break with a
laid-back feel will find the best of both worlds in Chicago, an
inviting city built for all seasons with world-class museums, more
than 29 miles of lakefront fun, legendary blues, and award-winning
dining and accommodations. Then there are the shops along Michigan
Avenue (“The Magnificent Mile™”) and Oak Street, and the 250 local
designers found in neighborhood boutiques; the unsurpassed
architecture that international cities marvel at; free downtown and
neighborhood festivals with the world’s best musicians and performers;
and the city’s commitment to a greener environment.
Travel beyond Chicago and you’ll understand why
the Associated Press declared Illinois the “most American state.”
Marvel at the genius of architect Frank Lloyd Wright and his
innovative style at the turn-of-the-century structures in Oak Park.
Stroll through the Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford and be sure
to stop and see Jane and Homer – a juvenile T.Rex and triceratops
found at the Burpee Museum. Cruise “The Mother Road,” Route 66, on
your way to Springfield for a chance to relive history at interactive
exhibits found in the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.
See the mighty Mississippi while following the
Great River Road and learn how bread goes from the field to your local
store at the John Deere Visitors Center in Moline. Relax in Galena
sipping some Illinois wine while the sun sets or follow the Illinois
Wine Trail in southern Illinois and spend the night at a local B&B.
Go to Illinois and go beyond your expectations!

With over 200 million
individuals over the age of 18 wearing some form of vision correction,
and the rising number of Americans suffering from serious vision and
health problems due to computer usage, it’s no wonder that eye and
vision care is one of today’s most popular benefits.
