Looking for a quick and easy spring getaway?

I laid out three options — near and far — Wednesday morning on WLS-Channel 7’s “Windy City Live.”

Put on some comfortable shoes and head for Lake Geneva, Wis., to do some (better yet, all) of the nearly 23-mile shore path hugging Geneva Lake. The waterfront mansions’ meticulously cared for gardens are just starting to bloom. And Grand Geneva Resort is hosting a new wine festival slated for April 8-10.

Want to venture a little farther from home? Head for Louisville, Ky., especially if you’re a bourbon fan.

If it’s a beach you’re craving, pack up the family and book a flight to Panama City Beach, Fla. This Panhandle town has taken steps to clean up its image and make the destination more family friendly, less spring break crazy.

For more details on all three trip ideas, give the “Windy City Live” segment a watch.
