Living in Chicago. Any recommendations for road trip destinations? Preferably not more than 7 hours driving. I’m a city girl but due to COVID looking for outdoor activities to do as well as perhaps nice dining, Marriott hotels, culture.

I’d say North.... N Michigan (Mackinac Island is 8 hours), Apostle Islands, Door county, Wisconsin Dells for outside activities.

Lake Geneva maybe? Enough of a city to have fun. Door county I’ve heard is cute too

Western Michigan - towns like Holland and the lake coast

SW Michigan probably for you... N Michigan and Apostle islands may be too rugged

This is outdoors but the land between the lakes is supposed to be cool. My family drove through on their way back on a road trip.

Saugatauck (I can’t spell) Michigan 100%. Super cute downtown on the water with cute restaurants and a little shopping, lots of wineries around, beach close by. 2ish hour drive from Chicago. Stay right downtown. Tons of places available on Airb&b

Hike at starved rock or Matteson state park. I usually do day trips, hike and then have dinner and drinks at the lone buffalo restaurant owned by tangled roots brewing
