Resolved Question: Romantic Getaway Less than 7 hours from Chicago?

I'm trying to plan a mini vacation for this weekend for my 3 year wedding anniversary. We live in Chicago and don't want to have to drive too far. Hubby prefers a hotel within walking distance to a nice restaurant and I prefer a quaint little town. Hubby is anti B&B, which makes it hard to find a place on Lake Michigan. The problem I'm also running into is that a lot of places are booked up already. We also don't have to stay at the same place both Friday and Saturday nights. I have no problem staying in one town and going to visit another. Any suggestions?? more

It's my parents 40th Anniversary March 23 & my brother & sister-in-law want to throw my parents a party which consist of 20 ppl. The party would be in April or May which I feel is not as much fun 2 celebrate after the fact. But to tell them we have a weekend getaway or a 5 day vacation would be great 2 send them in April or May. I live in FL and so does my Aunt (her sister) & Uncle. It's gonna cost us a lot 2 go 2 Michigan for the weekend and we feel it would be better 2 use the money 2 send my parents on a trip, but where? What is there in Michigan 2 do that would be fun for my parents that lived in Farmington Hills, Michigan their whole life? or what could they do outside of Michigan? I have know idea what they would be interested in doing. My parents r not into sports or the high end life, they r ur average american parents. We have already talked about sending them on a cruise, Dad wouldn't care 4 it. They have been 2 Machanaw Island, Sleeping Bear Dunes, not into gambling. HELP! more
