GALS GETAWAY (continued) SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Drive five minutes west to where Butterfield Road meets Highland Avenue, and you’ll find Yorktown Center (Lombard), three unique shopping experiences in one location. If it’s a nice day, dine al fresco at one of several eateries at The Shops on Butterfield, then pop over to the Plaza Shops at Yorktown before making a beeline for the enclosed mall. With over 150 stores, nearly 2 dozen restaurants, movie theaters and more, you could spend a week here—but you only have the afternoon, so make the most of it!
SATURDAY EVENING
This evening, jump on I-355 and head south to The Promenade Bolingbrook (Bolingbrook). This outdoor, pedestrian-friendly gathering place is home to lots of popular shops, restaurants and entertainment spots. Grab a bite while watching a movie at the surprisingly posh iPic Theater, followed by a nightcap and some fun at their Salt Sports Bar & Lounge.
SUNDAY MORNING
Set the alarm so you won’t miss your 10AM appointment at the Eaglewood Resort & Spa (Itasca). Choose a massage, body wrap, facial or any number of other ways to pamper yourselves in this 10,000 square foot European style spa as you prepare for a final afternoon of über shopping.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
What more fitting way to end your trip than with some serious brand-name bargain hunting? Chicago Premium Outlets (Aurora) is just the place with 120 stores offering huge saving from leading designers. Take the Farnsworth exit off I-88. It’s open until 7PM on Sundays, so you still have plenty of time to max out your credit cards before heading home.
ROMANTIC GETAWAY FRIDAY EVENING
Romance is in the air as you check into your luxurious suite at the intimate Bed & Breakfast at DuPage County’s own Lynfred Winery (Roselle).
If the weather’s nice, you can watch the sun set from the patio at Weber Grill Restaurant (Lombard) as you dine on a perfectly grilled steak or fish, or enjoy a deliciously prepared pasta dish in the spacious dining area outside Maggiano’s Little Italy (Oak Brook or Naperville).
SATURDAY MORNING
Wake up to your made-to-order breakfast before embarking on your private tour of the Lynfred facility and premium wine tasting. Plan to take home a bottle or two of their award-winning wines to share over fond memories of your trip to DuPage.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Spring through fall, DuPage County communities are bustling with events and festivals of all kinds. Walk hand-in-hand as you take in an art fair, carnival or outdoor concert at one of our many street fests.
SATURDAY EVENING
After dinner, enjoy a Broadway style musical at Drury Lane Theatre (Oakbrook Terrace), live comedy at Zanies Comedy Club at Pheasant Run Resort (St. Charles), or take a quick Metra train ride into Chicago to see one of the many Broadway In Chicago productions. Better yet, make reservations to board an Entertainment Cruises ship at Navy Pier for a romantic evening of dinner and dancing as you enjoy spectacular views of the Chicago skyline from Lake Michigan.
