Travel advice needed!
So my BFF chelseafrew and I are heading to Chicago next weekend for a Very Important Wedding. We've been meaning to take a leisurely roadtrip for years, and we've decided this is our opportunity!
We're leaving on Wednesday or Thursday of next week to meander from DC to Chicago by Friday afternoon. We're in Chicago Friday and Saturday for wedding activities, and then at some point we'll be leaving to drive up to Canada through either Wisconsin or (more likely) Michigan. From there we plan to drive around the Great Lakes to Toronto, then down through Niagra Falls and eventually home. We're allowing about a week and a half to do the whole thing.
I know a great number of you know live in these regions or know them much better than I do, so my questions:
* Along that route (more or less), what are the Must See Sights?
* Any advice on the best places to stay (or stay away from)?
* While in Canada, what and where must we eat?
* Anyone want to have coffee/dinner/world domination planning meetings?
This is, of course, all assuming that I can find my passport, which I put in a very safe place....

Being (sort of) in Chicago, and depending on where you'll be staying, Lucky's on Clark (North Side) has amazing sandwiches. But make sure you're hungry! If you're sticking to the downtown area, there's the Adler Planetarium, Museum of Natural History, Museum of Contemporary Art and the Museum of Broadcasting.
