Summer Vacation Plans

February seems to always be the time of year when I start dreaming about and planning getaways for the coming summer. My budget may not have room for extravagant travel plans, but going someplace cool that's not terribly far from home is definitely doable.

My kids have been asking to go camping for about 2 years now, but I can 100 percent guarantee they will not enjoy pitching a tent in the middle of the woods as much as they think they would. (Bugs freak them out and they complain about being hot more than their mother does).

Basically, my family is glamping people, not camping people, and I think I just found the perfect spot to go in Illinois this summer.
