Here are some ideas:

Galena, IL - it is a really neat quaint town with lots of
shops, great restaurants, a winery where you can relax and
sample wine on a wrap around porch, and as my parents say, the
best chocolate they have ever tasted.

Dubuque, IA is my husband and my favorite place to visit.
There is a really neat Mississippi River museum and aquarium
plus things like a cable car, lock and dam, shops, river
cruises, apple orchards near by, parks (one of the city parks
looks out over the city and the river and is really pretty),
etc. And Dubuque and Galena are really close together so you
could even check out both if you stay over night.

Wisconsin State parks are in general really neat places to
spend time. My husband and I do a lot of hiking and relaxing
in different ones.

Quad Cities (IA) - my husband and I spent a long weekend here
once and really enjoyed it. They have a really neat lock and
dam that explains how locks work plus river cruises as well.
I'm trying to think what else we did there but am drawing a
blank.
