My partner-in-crime's sister was getting married and the wedding day events were spread all over…read moreLake County. The bride and groom hadn't made provisions for a shuttle and the reception was a solid 20 minutes from the hotel along dark, windy two-lane roads. Problem. I started plotting a way we (me) could avoid driving that evening, looking into cabs, car services and anything else I could find. Knowing a number of other guests shared our transportation concerns - we all wanted to be safe, but no one wanted to be a designated driver - and there were limited transportation options in the immediate vicinity, I started looking into chartering a school bus. I requested quotes from a few places and found First Student the easiest to deal with. I plugged all of the event information into their website and got a quote in about 24 hours. Other quotes rolled in days later, if at all. The bride and groom enthusiastically accepted our offer to provide the shuttle as our wedding gift to them. My manfriend called and finalized the arrangements, receiving an email confirmation with all of the details. Since my partner-in-crime was in the wedding party, I was in charge of meeting the driver and making sure things went as planned. Our driver, I forget his name, made that job easy. He was awesome; he pulled into the hotel parking lot at 5 on the dot and left exactly when I asked him to for his first shuttle trip. I rode the second shuttle to the reception and he got us there quickly and efficiently, like he drove the route often. We agreed that he would leave on the hour to take people back to the hotel as needed, which again went off without a hitch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend First Student again. Arrangements were simple and our driver was prompt, friendly and flexible.

While, off the bat, one would most likely not be interested in touring a business facility for fun,…read moreI actually made the conscious decision. It's free -- you just need to book in advance online! If you're interested in Frank Lloyd Wright and the history of SC Johnson, or even if you're not, it's still an interesting tour. I couldn't book the 2 hour tour that added other Wright sites, but it was still a good tour nonetheless. Bathroom breaks are limited; be sure to use the ones in the Golden Rondelle building, which is where you check in and meet for the tour (arrive 15 minutes prior). Each person must have a physical photo ID on them, only water is permitted on the tour (no food or other beverages), and no photography is allowed inside the buildings. It was a large group tour with adults and kids. The kids were well behaved, but as a younger child, depending on their interests, it may not appeal to them. They do offer a Jr. Architect badge for children -- I overheard the guide offer one to a teenager. I later asked if I could have one. She humored me. Our tour guide Dawn was great -- an enthusiastic speaker who kept the group engaged. She also did a fantastic job taking pictures of me and my family in front of the FLW desk in the Rondelle Center. It's imperative to have your physical photo ID, not just a picture of it. Two people arrived with only photos of their IDs and were initially turned away. The manager later contacted the guide and they were allowed to join. They have free postcards you can write and they'll mail them for you in the check-in area, along with magnets and some stickers. Bathroom breaks are limited to the Rondelle Center and, at the end, Fortaleza Hall, where the Lily Pad gift shop is located. During the tour you must wear a lanyard tracker and stick with the group. A security guard follows the last person to ensure this. The tour isn't fully handicap accessible and they don't supply wheelchairs. The part most likely to be inaccessible is the research tower, which contains a narrow concrete spiral staircase and steep steps. My father-in-law rested on a bench outside; the security guard stayed with him and took him into a building that showed a video of the research tower interior, which was nice for him. We entered the research tower first, then headed into the administration building (there's a low-grade ramp to the entrance). You learn about the infrastructure and desks, which were quite interesting: you can see the lily pad columns and sit in one of Wright's ergonomic chairs at the desks. I think they mentioned there are only three original walnut Wright desk tops -- one in the Guggenheim, one at the Institute of Science in Chicago, and one in Racine. Wright was definitely brilliant and talented, but from the stories about his interactions with SC Johnson, he could also be extremely resistant to legitimate complaints-- narcissistic, stubborn, and dismissive -- from his three-legged office chairs to the Pyrex tubes he designed for the windows to shield what he called the "abhorrent" views of Racine. Haha. You can see his influence on the Art Deco movement and modernism, as well as his imprint on organic architecture. The last building was Fortaleza Hall, named after the city in Brazil that one of the Johnson family visited; that trip changed his perspective and opened his eyes to philanthropy. The plane on display is a replica of the plane Johnson flew to Brazil. Fortaleza Hall has an elevator and was also designed by renowned architect Norman Foster. Inside Fortaleza Hall it's not extensive; 15 minutes felt a bit too short in my opinion because my husband and I went to the Lily Pad gift shop first, as recommended by our guide. I did breeze through it and found some interesting tidbits. Overall, I highly recommend it -- but book in advance online!

The security guards were accommodating and walked us back to the main entrance so we could leave. I would recommend this tour - not my favorite but still very cool, and another off the master list of places to visit.
