If they are in Chicago, how are they able to take a day trip to the mountains to find a Christmas tree?

This one is a bit of a stretch, but it is plausible.
After some extensive research, I discovered that the highest point of elevation in the state of Wisconsin is Timms Hill at approximately 2,000 feet. According to Google Maps, it's a 5 and a half hour drive from Chicago to Ogema, WI.
If the Griswalds left around 8 or 9 in the morning, they could have arrived at the park/forest by 2 in the afternoon. After walking through the woods and digging up the tree, you figure that they would be back on the road by about 5 at the earliest. After another 5+ hours in the car they could have arrived back in Chicago at around 10 or 11 in the evening.
You're right. The more I think about it the less it makes sense.
