D2 and I are driving from Chicago (visiting the Botanic Garden, which D loves) up to Appleton to see Lawrence. Does anyone have suggestions for a good place to stay (nice town on the lake or something) between the north side of Chicago and Milwaukee? We do not need to stay close to Appleton, as her tour is not until after lunch (1:45). We just spent a weekend in Chicago itself last week, so don’t plan to stay there. D will be unwinding from a few weeks of camp, so just looking for someplace relaxing to stop for the evening if anyone has suggestions.
