We arrived at Lake Geneva on Saturday after what seemed a never ending drive through Northwest Illinois. Lots of towns, lots of lights, lots of aggravation. As always the final directions to the resort were a bit obtuse (or maybe we're a wee bit obtuse). Regardless, we drove past it twice before finally realizing where we had to turn in. The unit was fine and overlooked one of the fairways of the "Highlands" golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus to resemble a Scottish style course (not links). However, the first afternoon we opted to walk around the other course which borders a lake and is called "The Beast" - 7500 yards with lots of water. On our way around we took a couple of pictures of fountains in the lake.
After the walk there was a debate as whether a short trip into town (about three miles) or a nap was in order. Mom won the debate and off we went to town. It was surprisingly crowded for an October weekend. We were able to walk a little way around the lake.
The remainder of the day was given over to drinking on the deck and dinner.
