“Best. Weekend. Ever!”

Three words to describe our memorial weekend in the Dells? “Best. Weekend. Ever!” Between zip lining, the jet boat tour, and spending time at the pool and campsite, it was one fun-filled weekend! Arriving at the campsite Friday night, everyone was excited to see friends from their own city and catch up with people then haven’t seen in a while. We had a couple poor late comers who had to set up their tents in the dark, but E&A members are always willing to lend a helping hand! The nights were filled with campfire stories, smores, and games. Those who you got enough sleep and still had energy left ventured off on the Devil’s Lake hike as well as the Downtown Dells walk in the mornings. For a bit more excitement, we went on a wet and wild jet boat ride with our hilarious captain Tom. No one walked away dry after that boat ride…especially the front rows! Zip lining was our other amazing adventure. We bonded as a group while learning how to zip upside down and doing the “trust fall.” Everyone had such an amazing time, we can’t for the Labor Day trip!

New Event Manager and Whirlyball!

As the new event manager for Events and Adventures Chicago, I couldn’t wait to get out and meet everyone! My first event? Whirlyball! I had never played before, so I was unsure of what to expect… It was a blast! Meeting over 30 members was exciting in itself and their amazing energy got me so pumped up! I whizzed and whirled around, not knowing what direction my bumper car was going to go half the time. But we came together as a team and won the game! It was a night I won’t soon forget, I can’t wait till we play again! Events And Adventures Chicago

Live From Greece!!

After nearly 30 hours for flights and transfers we all got to Athens !!!
Even with the travel/jetlag we are all exited to be in Greece and starting our adventure.

The first night we had a welcoming dinner in the heart of Athens old town and not far from the Acropolis, the restaurant that was picked by our guides was perfect. a true Greek favorite as the photos on the
walls of the owner and his family with so many of Greece's famous and other well known world wide bid shots showed us.

As a kid in school you learn about Greek history and it some how seen so unreal, but when you get to walk right up to the pillars of the Parthenon and hear from our guides just how this was all made and what they were thinking at the time this was being built it becomes a image
that will be with you for the rest of there life.
I can't wait to write more next week about the Greek islands we are heading to. Events And Adventures Travel

Spring Is In The Air!

After surviving another miserable Chicago winter that included TWO polar vortexes, our members were ready for Spring! What better way to celebrate the end of winter than withthe Naperville Holi Festival. This tradition is a Vedic holiday that marks the end of winter and the arrival of Spring by throwing multicolored powder into the air. We came to the event wearing white, and left wearing every color in the rainbow...you could say E&A knows how to paint the town red! When we weren’t dousing each other with vibrance, we enjoyed bands, dancing and a party in the street. This was by far one of the best events yet of 2014. Needless to say, we sure saw everyone’s colorful side that afternoon! Events and Adventures Chicago
