My mom & I are going on our 14th annual Mother Daughter Trip & we need suggestions/input. I live in the chicago suburbs and she lives in the Indianapolis area. We want to drive somewhere this year between 2-6hrs from those points (but up to 8 is ok and we do want to go somewhere new). We are wanting to go in early October. What we are looking for is a bit of shopping (not antiquing), maybe a winery, something specific or interesting to the area, and a nicer place to go for late night drinks one night. Any comments about the two places we are considering- Traverse City, MI (too cold?) or Peoria, IL (too boring?)? Or any other suggestions (not Downtown Chicago, Louisville, St. Louis, Galena,or the Dells, all have been done). Also, if you have any suggestions, can you tells us a bit about the place & what there is to do there. Thanks for the input!... Read More »
