If I were you, I'd definitely want to escape the heat. We have had an abnormally scorching summer here in the Midwest, so instead of taking family vacations to the south, we've decided to go north. Have you looked into the Northern Midwest? There is a lot of camping in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. We just went to Chicago a few weeks ago, and the breeze from the lake was a welcomed relief from the heat. There is so much to see that we always know what to do in Chicago when we're there.
