While my mom and dad were here earlier in October we took a drive up to Lake Geneva, WI. It's a rural 45-minute drive from Grayslake. The area reminded us of northern Michigan with lots of cute shops and beautiful lake views. There was even a Kilwins fudge shop in town!
We took a 2-hour boat cruise around the lake and learned the history of some of the gorgeous estates which were summer retreats for the likes of Wrigley Chewing Gum, Morton Salt, Montgomery Ward, Andes Mints, etc. It was a very interesting tour and the fall colors were gorgeous.
The kids most enjoyed that they could walk on the boat, going up to the top deck to feel the frigid air in their faces!
