Hey,

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).

Thanks in advance,

Mandy

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 Mississip...See More
