Windy City Architecture Cruise, Michelle Obama's Dressmaker, and Cleveland Historic Hotel

Wake up and walk up North Michigan Avenue and around the corner to Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe for a great pancake breakfast before your second and last day in Chicago.
Open daily 7am - 2pm

Next, wander over to the Chicago Architecture Center for a Chicago Architecture Center Foundation River Cruise. Be there half hour early for a morning departure, and for 90 minutes hear a CAC-trained docent volunteer tell stories about more than 50 buildings along the Chicago River. Listen to how Chicago grew from a small settlement into one of the world's largest cities in less than 100 years. Book your cruise on the website.

After your architecture cruise, make your way over to Ikram, the luxury dress shop of designer Ikram Goldman, unofficial stylist to former first lady Michelle Obama. Eat lunch at the Café at Ikram then wander through the shop, and maybe even spurge on a fabulous new frock!
Open daily 10am-6pm except Sundays, when Ikram is closed.

This South Bend, Indiana museum displays a full range of historic autos, carriages, and other vehicles made by the Studebaker Corporation. A visit to this unique museum is a slice of American history.
Open 10-5 daily except Sundays, when it opens at noon.

Stop for a look at this historic structure, the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the American side of the Great Lakes.

Dine at this Tex Mex favorite and order the shrimp tacos and a margherita. Sit on the back patio and enjoy the starts. It's the perfect relaxing dinner after a long drive from Chicago.

Check in for the night at the French Gothic Glidden House, a boutique hotel in leafy University Circle on the city's east side with gorgeous outdoor gardens, a gazebo, and a carriage house. The National Register of Historic Places–ranked, 1910 Glidden House is within minutes of the Cleveland Orchestra’s Severance Hall and the Cleveland Museum of Art.
