After Ohio, we hugged the Lake Michigan “coastline” to check out Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.

Lunch the next day was in Davenport, Iowa, where I looked out at the mighty Mississippi River.

Omaha, Nebraska, was a pleasant surprise. It’s a foodie town, with interesting neighborhoods. We stayed near the Old Market, which is packed with shops and restaurants shaded by decorative awnings.

There are vintage signs and distinctive letterforms everywhere. Even the view from our hotel window was eye-catching:
