What’s a fun and cheap vacation for someone that lives around Chicago?
Posted by admin
Not quite perfect asked:
I live in the Chicago suburbs and I want to plan a small getaway. I don’t have a lot of money so some place that’s within driving distance, but that’s far enough away would be ideal. Any suggestions?

how about a trip to Wisconsin See how they make cheese also there is a resort by the lakes or go to Iowa see the john Deere museum
Wisconsin Dells? UP of Michigan (Lake Leelenau)?
If you’re into nature and enjoy the outdoors with walking and picnicking, etc. Try Starved Rock State Park in Utica, IL. It’s only about an hour and a half from Chicago and closer from some suburbs.- don’t know exactly where you’re at.
I recently went to Gatlinburg, TN (I live in IL as well)….it is a beautiful place and this time of year is the best time to go for all the fall colors. You can rent a cabin in the mountains for under $100 a night! Hot tub, jacuzzi, 2 level deck, and you are about 10 mins away from Smokey Mountain National Park. There are tons of shops and cool restaurants to go to as well. You will love it!

In addition, there’s Lincoln’s Home, and New Salem Village where he grew up
