There's Great America up in Gurnee, IL. Fantastic amusement park, and it has one of the countrie's biggest malls nearby for shopping. It's right near the highway, and you could go downtown Chicago to see things like the Sears Tower, the lake, take a tour of all the old gangster hideouts and speakeasys, take in a baseball game at either Cell Field (White Sox) or Wrigley Field (Cubs). Take a ride down the Chicago river, ride a ferris wheel on the lakefront, go to one or all of the neighborhoods for food (Greek, Jewish, Chinese, Italian, Polish, German, Irish, Middle Eastern...etc). Between Jun 26, 2009 - Jul 5, 2009, we have "Taste of Chicago", where 70 restaurants peddle food down near the lake. There's Ravinia, for (usually) free outdoor concerts, and we have alot more than that.. I want to do that. 
I'd like to go up in the Sears tower again. |

Ocean Beach, Maryland is pretty nice, and you can wave to me across the ocean, or stick your middle finger up, if you choose.

Have you considered an amusement/water park sort of thing? Yeah, I have but where? Done Disney (which I wouldn't do in the summer anyway), done Cedar Point, done all the local ones. Any suggestions, Lilith? Kids are 14 and 16. This would be a "trip" not a "vacation". The difference is that on a "trip" you take the kids with you.

Nah, kids are old enough to do their own thing most of the time and take care of themselves for the most part, thankfully. My son is an excellent traveler too! |

My daughters (4 of them) were all teenagers at the same time, (only 7 years between oldest and youngest). The "trips" in those years were really something.  The "vacations" were great

come camping we put on a great 4th of July fireworks show
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww you have no power or running water That's what camping is  I have friends that have a huge travel home, they say they are going "camping". I tell them if you take a microwave and television with you, that isn't "camping". Camping is when you say you need to go to the bathroom, you walk away with a roll of toilet paper in one hand, and a shovel in the other.

I'd love to go to Alaska but it's definitely not in my budget this year True, and you know, the more I think about it, I'm thinking it might not be a bad idea, road trip around the UP, show the fam some of my favorite places. Might even inflict some more psychological damage on myself and visit my family
