Destinations closer to home can be an excellent way to add a new dimension to extended escapes of 8+ hours and enjoy the best of the Midwest. I’ve included a few of my favorites below but am always ready to explore your suggestions as well. Let’s enhance our playdate with a change of scenery!

Assuming we commute to the city together by road or rail, my standard rates apply. If you wish to meet in our destination instead of traveling there together, travel costs of $50 per roundtrip hour of commute will be added at the time of deposit and then my standard rates apply once our time together begins.
