Kathy,

These past couple of years, we've been renting lake cabins for a week. The kids have a blast.

It depends on where you live and the ages of your children.

Up here in the Northern Midwest, Wisconsin Dells is fun. A bit expensive touristy trap kind of area, but heaps cheaper then Disney World with at ton of fun stuff to do.

The Black Hills was a great vacation spot for us also. Rent a cabin at Custer State park.

We've also rented a house for a week that was part of a historic bed & breakfast with horseback riding. That was located in Iowa, and probably the best vacation I had with my older girls. Very interesting history with Cold War Russia occurred at this particular farm in Coon Rapids IA. It is kid and pet friendly. Our dogs had the run of the place, and thought they were in heaven chasing the cows. The proprieter didn't mind at all.

My friends rented a houseboat and had an enjoyable time. That is something we've talked about doing.

Hope these planted some seeds.

When my older daughter was young we used to go tent camping several times a summer at State Parks and State Forests. It was a lot of fun, and they usually had some great programs at the camp centers. Things like what wildlife was in the area, history, and night time star or wildlife viewing.
