One of my favorite places in Chicago, Illinois, is Buckingham Fountain. The fountain is one of the largest in the world. What I like most about this fountain is that good friend of my family was married here and I took part as the flower girl. I also enjoyed when the wind would blow and you feel a sprinkle of water on your face.
