As part of my birthday, my parents are allowing my brother and I to take an Amtrak from St Louis to Bloomington, IL. There we will meet my grandpa, uncle, and cousin and take a bus to Chicago where we will go to a St Louis Cardinals @ Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field. Might do other things too.
Still a month left, but is there anything to do in an easy-to-access vicinity from the ballpark that anyone knows of? We probably won't be getting a rental car and doing mostly walking.
