Mother-Daughter Weekend Vacation

How about Galena, Ill or Lexington Ky?
by: tripdiva

Galena, in northern Illinois, near the Misissipi River, is a charming old town with lots of older homes, a winery, and LOTS of antique shops. It's a great place for a weekend, and I think especially good for a mother-daughter "walking/browsing/catching up on life" weekend. There are a couple of spas, too, so a relaxing massage or facial would be a nice addition to your weekend.

If you and your mother are horse lovers, Lexington, Kentucky is a great place to visit. The rolling hills are just lovely, and Lexington is a nice town. There are art/craft shows in the area during the summer, you can visit a bourbon factory, and the Mary Todd Lincoln House is there for history buffs.

Of course, if you want a city getaway, Chicago has everything you're looking for - theater, historic homes, museums, parks, a great lakefront, shopping - anything you might like to do! Hotels downtown are expensive (although they are a little less if you don't need a pool). The Palmer House is a charming old hotel conveniently located near the theater district, the Art Institute, and Millenium Park. But if you're driving, stay in the suburbs, near a metro train station. You'll save on your hotel and you can hop the train into the city.

Hope that helps!
