I am now unexpectedly headed to Chicago in 3 weeks because my grandmother is not doing well. Gonna drive because it still seems safer. Ohio is in the middle of that route: gonna check out Canton on the way there and Zanesville on the way back.
Expanding on this: the plan now is to drive to Chicago with my toddler in the car, spend a few days with my grandmother in Chicago, and then if she is stable spend a long weekend in Wisconsin and Michigan just me and my wife (leaving the toddler in Chicago with grandma, grampa, and grand-gramma). Then return to Chicago, pick up the kid, and drive back to Virginia. We would, excitingly for me, be taking a car ferry across Lake Michigan from Manitowoc, Wisconsin to Ludington, Michigan.
This is gonna be a socially distanced trip. Apart from the absolutely necessary (going to the bathroom, getting groceries in small towns where I can't get delivery) we are avoiding the inside of public buildings. We are focusing on things that can be done outdoors: fishing, boating, drive-in movie theaters (these are way more common than I thought), zoos but not indoor exhibits at zoos, admiring nifty buildings from outside, graves of famous people, etc.
It pains me to, in many cases, know we're going to be driving right by some cool museum and not go in, but at the same time I will feel a sense of accomplishment if I can nonetheless patch together something memorable under such tight constraints.
