You also get go thru the Kentucky Lakes area, and Round Lake in Illinois, very scenic. This route adds 40 miles but it's worth it. I drove the reverse last month and there is some construction at Effingham, IL

I have only flown back and forth from Chicago to Florida, but I know from experience the area between Gary, IN and the Illinois/Indiana border on I-80-90-94 has lots of semi-truck traffic. The route Jeff has suggested may be a good one. Happy and safe traveling
