My parents are coming to visit in mid-September and other
than show them the sites of Chicago, I wanted to take them
somewhere outdoorsy in Wisconsin or Illinois. My dad likes
fishing and serene nature "stuff." My mom likes quaint
little town shops. So my thought is someplace we can take
nice walks, and visit little shops. They are definitely not
adventure sports kind of people. So, I was wondering if
anyone had any tips on places that are really pretty that I
could take them? I've only lived here a couple years, so I
don't really know all the places yet. Anyways, I was
thinking no more than a 2-3 hour drive, and maybe a
lodge/hotel stay? BTW, I live in the NW Suburbs of Chicago
(Arlington Hts. area).
