Chicago

Distance: 4 hours and 35 minutes
Chicago, home to some of the country’s most successful artists and entertainers, is just a drive through Indiana away. The Windy City sits right on Lake Michigan, and the endless list of activities makes it an excellent getaway for a weekend. You can relax at the beach and play sand volleyball with the locals or take a two-wheeled ride through the extremely bikeable neighborhoods. There are also various boat tours that lead you through the city via canal, giving you a glimpse into the history and architecture of Chicago. With attractions such as Millennium Park, the Museum of Modern Art and Navy Pier, a day downtown is sure to give you your big city fix.
